For now I've "solved" this by adding some comments (in the 3rd patch)
basically summarizing what Akash said. I didn't want to go further
than that for now because it felt more important to get the i2c bug
fixed sooner rather than later and re-organizing would be a big enough
change that it'd probably need a few spins.
Our bug trackers don't make it trivially easy to file a public bug
tracking this and assign it to Qualcomm, but I've filed a bug asking
folks at Qualcomm to help with re-organizing things after my patch
series lands. This is internally tracked at Google as b:170766462
("Rejigger geni_se_select_fifo_mode() / geni_se_select_dma_mode() to
not manage interrupt enables").
