I had a poke at the assembly and it looks like GCC is clearing the
bits unconditionally anyway, so removing the tests provides no change.

Combining them is a good further optimization.

A question unrelated to this patch: Do you know why the driver doesn't
clear the status bits in the interrupt handler? I would expect it to
write the value of sts back to the register to ack the pending
interrupt.
