Iff you are going to respin, maybe use the inverted Christmas tree
style, and group the u8 variables.

There is whitespace damage in three of the four lines above.
Maybe this can be fixed up while applying?
The patch still feels a bit arbitrary, and looking at the definition of
SUN4I_FUNC_IRQ below we probably need another rework, but if that fixes
the issues observed, we should take it now:
(with the w/s damage fixed:)
