- ncr5385: Revert machine/ncr5385.cpp: Clear status bits first when updating so they aren't stuck on (#13109). This reverts commit ff6d52d56a9dcac133e5fee805a277bf0f9b60a4; neither of the changes make sense. The addition to ncr5385_device::update_int is redundant is the bits are cleared just above the if statement. The addition to ncr5385_device::aux_status_r is unnecessary as the bits are only set when an interrupt is asserted (if they're set when it isn't, there's a logic bug elsewhere) [Vas Crabb]. Mask auxiliary status bits if no interrupts are pending [Adam Billyard]. Clear status bits first when updating so they aren't stuck on (#13109) [Adam Billyard].
