Ah ok, so that's what the x1e80100 patch is about.

I see it on v6.6 and it is also on v5.15.y (stable kernel) so that has
been picked back. Somehow the aux interrupt is still happening though
when the PLL isn't locked. Maybe that interrupt bit should be masked in
most cases and only unmasked when something in the driver is going to
care about it.
