Clearing the HPET interrupt enable bit disables interrupt generation
but does not disable the timer, so the interrupt status bit will still
be set when the timer elapses. If another interrupt arrives before
the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on
the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an
extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be
set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened.
Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and
stays cleared until we actually program the timer.
