As I read the datasheet this is a active-high level interrupt, so as
long as some enabled IRQs are pending the signal will stay high.
There are 3 notes in section 9.1.3. IRQ usage that in various situations
IRQ bits may be set/pending and have to be cleared.
At least clear the interrupts before enabling it again to be on the
safe side.

Best regards,
Alexander
