That's what I mean. rlsi handler is basically taking care of those
bits... So how come we get RLSI IRQ when those bits aren't set ?

Meaning, you shouldn't ever need that check, right ? Ideally, whenever
that handler is called, it's because BRK_ERROR_BITS are set.

Maybe add a WARN_ONCE() kinda thing just to see if that will ever really
happen ??
