8.3.12Poll Status Register (POLLST, Offset 26h) (Master Mode)

The Poll Status (POLLST) Register mirrors the current state of the Poll Register. The POLLST Register can be read without affecting the current interrupt request. But when the Poll Register is read, the current interrupt is acknowledged and the next interrupt takes its place in the Poll Register.
