This definitely looks wrong.  The check whether the interrupt is enabled
should be moved *before* the conditional calls to bcm2835_rd_fifo_blind()
and bcm2835_wr_fifo_blind(), i.e. to the top of the function.

Otherwise if an interrupt is raised by another SPI controller,
this function may perform read/write accesses to the FIFO and
interfere with an ongoing transfer in DMA or poll mode.

Also, instead of performing an MMIO read, just use the "cs" variable
which was assigned at the top of the function.

The code comment should explain that the check is necessary because the
interrupt may be shared with other controllers on the BCM2711.

Finally, it would be nice if the check would be optimized away when
compiling for pre-RasPi4 products, maybe something like:

+	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM_LPAE) && !(cs & BCM2835_SPI_CS_INTR))
+		return IRQ_NONE;

Thanks,
