I think this is exactly what you said. It's not necessary.

The main purpose of this change is that I found some users in the actual 
project with the following usages:
(1)open(/dev/ttyAML0);
(2)open(/dev/ttyAML0);
The open function calls the meson_uart_startup function. If this is the 
case, an interrupt error is reported.So So the IRQF_SHARED flag was added.

I'm going to do this for now, remove free_irq and request_irq 
function,then add devm_request_irq in meson_uart_probe function.
This solves the above problem without adding IRQF_SHARED.
