Perhaps "mux", like I did for rspi, cfr.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-rspi.txt:

  - interrupts       : A list of interrupt-specifiers, one for each entry in
                       interrupt-names.
                       If interrupt-names is not present, an interrupt specifier
                       for a single muxed interrupt.
  - interrupt-names  : A list of interrupt names. Should contain (if present):
                         - "error" for SPEI,
                         - "rx" for SPRI,
                         - "tx" to SPTI,
                         - "mux" for a single muxed interrupt.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
