[ Upstream commit ee14cc9ea19ba9678177e2224a9c58cce5937c73 ]
Fix "double" clearing of interrupts, which can cause external events
or timestamps to be missed.
The E1000_TSIRC Time Sync Interrupt Cause register can be cleared in two
ways, by either reading it or by writing '1' into the specific cause
bit. This is documented in section 8.16.1.
The following flow was used:
1. read E1000_TSIRC into 'tsicr';
2. handle the interrupts present into 'tsirc' and mark them in 'ack';
3. write 'ack' into E1000_TSICR;
As both (1) and (3) will clear the interrupt cause, if the same
interrupt happens again between (1) and (3) it will be ignored,
causing events to be missed.
Remove the extra clear in (3).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
