External Interrupt Pin (GP6) Event Status
The External Interrupt pin event status command is used by the USB host to query the external interrupt events recorded
by the MCP2210. In order to have the MCP2210 record the number of external interrupt events, GP6 must be configured
to have its dedicated function active.
