I like Andrews suggestion of having irq_ack_last as a define that
is already negated, instead of negating it in the writel, which
makes it a bit difficult to read.

Besides, ack_last, as a name is not very meaningful, I'd rather
call it irq_ack_rx_tx (or something similar).

But I'm not going to block it for this, up to you if you want to
send a new version.
