So we need to move the route of using a cascaded demux interrupt handler
for interrupt separation.
The other thing is: is there a "framework" to handle access to the
the "enable" register shared by all three devices (spi1/spi2/uart1),
or do we have to create a tiny module (aux-bcm2835 or similar) to
serialize access to this register?
For the moment I will start focusing on the implementation itself while
we can figure out the interrupt-controller configuration in DT in
parallel...
We also should look into upstreaming the configuration of uart1 - even
if only available on the compute board...
