I'm not sure I understand, UIP and UF are indeed the same logic (UIP is
1 between the rising and falling edge; UF becomes 1 on the falling
edge), but they are also the same thing as the interrupt.  UIE only says
whether an interrupt is raised on the rising edge of UF.

So, merging the handling of UF and UIP makes sense, but separating the
two from the interrupt seems wrong.
