ok, i change it in next version

also thought that after sending it :)

I would also move this comment in first patch with your changes requested.

/* legacy way:
 * On MTK_SHARED_INT SoCs (MT7621 + MT7628) the first IRQ is taken from
 * devicetree and used for both RX and TX - it is shared.
 * On SoCs with non-shared IRQs the first entry is not used,
 * the second is for TX, and the third is for RX.
 */

i can keep your RB there?

code changes are OK?
