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.

Compile tested only. 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.

does anyone have a setup to test this patch (i assume it requires a compute module)?

@Rob: Thank you very much for this patch

It looks to me like we'd only return IRQ_HANDLED if we did work that
needed doing.  Is this check effectively doing some interlock to make
sure that we've already started bcm2835aux_spi_transfer_one_irq() and
aren't just racing against transaction setup?

What if you are in polled mode for the SPI and the 8250 irq (or other
SPI instance) causes the SPI irq handler to run?

The way I look at it is, this change in the irq handler was also said
to fix the problem[1]:

    u32 irq_flags = readl(bcm2835_aux_irq_reg);

    if(!(irq_flags & (1<<master->bus_num)))
    {
        return IRQ_NONE;
    }

Is checking whether the interrupt is pending in the aux reg any
different than checking for interrupt being enabled in the device? I
could have checked the status bits too, but as you say that is handled
farther down.

It seems clearly different to me, in that one is about allowing the
interrupt line to go high and the other is about whether the interrupt
line is actually high right now.

However, the polled mode note explains to me what was going wrong, so:

The requirement is more that the handler should correctly identify if it
actually handled an interrupt - especially if the driver doesn't enable
and disable the interrupt at runtime it's not going to upset anything to
always run the interrupt handling (and of course some hardware can't
disable things anyway) but if nohing happened then the handler needs to
return IRQ_NONE.
