There are multiple design tradeoffs and considerations in how the
PCA953x driver detects the source(s) of an interrupt. This driver
supports PCAL variants with input latching, a feature that is
constrained by the fact that the interrupt status and input port
registers cannot be read atomically. These limits and the design
decisions deserve an in-depth explanation.
Update the documentation to clarify these hardware limits and describe
how the driver determines pending interrupts, and how it makes use of
the PCAL input latching.
