Wouldn't the real hardware lower irq on the hardware reset?
And if it would not, would it still clear the corresponding bit in
the ESP_RSTAT register?

It does, but

+static void esp_soft_reset(DeviceState *d)
+{
+    ESPState *s = container_of(d, ESPState, busdev.qdev);
+
+    qemu_irq_lower(s->irq);

Shouldn't it be esp_lower_irq(s)? What's going to happen to the
DMA_INTR bit if dma was the source of the irq?

+    esp_hard_reset(d);
+}
+
