This seems like a nice cleanup to me. It's still odd that the general
code has a special case for UART, but I guess the alternative is to
duplicate the exact same logic for both the i2c and SPI drivers. I
won't insist on that, though I wouldn't be opposed to it either.

I guess one comment, though: should we also remove the code that
messes with "SE_GENI_S_IRQ_EN" in geni_se_select_gpi_mode()?
