The existing code uses one pair of interrupt handler/thread per link but at the hardware level the interrupt is shared. This works fine for legacy PCI interrupts, but leads to timeouts in MSI (Message-Signaled Interrupt) mode, likely due to edges being lost. This patch unifies interrupt handling for all links. The dedicated handler is removed since we use a common one for all shared interrupt sources, and the thread function takes care of dealing with interrupt sources. This partition follows the model used for the SOF IPC on HDaudio platforms, where similar timeout issues were noticed and doing all the interrupt handling/clearing in the thread improved reliability/stability. Validation results with 4 links active in parallel show a night-and-day improvement with no timeouts noticed even during stress tests. Latency and quality of service are not affected by the change - mostly because events on a SoundWire link are throttled by the bus frame rate (typically 8..48kHz).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
