I do not believe the driver is prepared to handle shared interrupts.
First of all, it disables interrupts in the firmware update path, which
will interfere with operation of other device using the same line.

You also need to make sure the driver properly recognizes condition when
interrupt is raised by another device and Ilitek controller does not
have any data to transfer/return. In this case we need to make sure we
do not log any errors, not release any active contacts, etc.

Thanks.
