That may be because reading the interrupt status resets the TC bit.
As mentioned above, I think it shouldn't do that. Just a wild guess, but
it might be worth a try. Can you remove "s->rregs[ESP_RSTAT] &= ~STAT_TC;"
from the ESP_RINTR case in esp_reg_read() and see what happens ?
[That may expose situations where STAT_TC _should_ be cleared but isn't,
so we may hit other problems when doing that.]
Thanks,
