The hardware (well, *gateware*) is coded to populate the EV_PENDING
register regardless of whether IRQs are enabled via the EV_ENABLE
register (or indeed, whether IRQs are even "wired into" the design at
all). See

https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/cores/uart.py
and
https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/soc/interconnect/csr_eventmanager.py

for a starting point on why it's OK to just assume that...
