So, I've applied this since we're (hopefully!) very near the merge
window opening and it seems like it should be an improvement overall.
However a few things below:

The shifting here could use a comment.

Using update_bits() is going to do an extra read, better to do this as:

	if (xcsr)
		regmap_write(sai->regmap, FSL_SAI_RCSR, xcsr);

otherwise we might be ignoring any of the bits that are actually clear
on read (it seems like there are some?).

I'd expect to see IRQ_NONE if we didn't actually see an interrupt
source.
