The BCM2835 AUX SPI has a shared interrupt line (with AUX UART). Downstream fixes this with an AUX irqchip to demux the IRQ sources and a DT change which breaks compatibility with older kernels. The AUX irqchip was already rejected for upstream[1] and the DT change would break working systems if the DTB is updated to a newer one. The latter issue was brought to my attention by Alex Graf. The root cause however is a bug in the shared handler. Shared handlers must check that interrupts are actually enabled before servicing the interrupt. Add a check that the TXEMPTY or IDLE interrupts are enabled.

I'll add something to the related github issue on this and hopefully someone can test and confirm. I'm assuming the 8250 driver can handle shared irqs correctly.
