Andy,
I don't have any means to test this, so should I follow your lead with this
patchset and ask for testers in a new patchset? I've included my proposed
solution here for your initial feedback:

---- start patch ----

commit a21ae841664aae4c16452a216e26e3a3854fd14c
Author: Aaron Sierra <asierra@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Jul 18 17:56:37 2018 -0500

    serial: 8250_exar: Read INT0 from slave device, too
    
    My sleep wake-up refactoring in
    
      c7e1b4059075 ("tty: serial: exar: Relocate sleep wake-up handling")
    
    did not account for devices with a slave device on the expansion port.
    This patch pokes the INT0 register in the slave device, if present, in
    order to ensure that MSI interrupts don't get permanently "stuck"
    because of a sleep wake-up interrupt as described in the original
    implementation:
    
      2c0ac5b48a35 ("serial: exar: Fix stuck MSIs")
