Subject: spi: bcm2835aux: ensure interrupts are enabled for shared handler

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit bc519d9574618e47a0c788000fb78da95e18d953 ]

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.
