This reverts commit 5a9b0c7418.
The switch from AUX interrupts to pollign was very hand-wavy.
Yes, there have been some situations in CI on a few platforms
where the AUX hardware seemingly forgets to signal the timeout,
but those have been happening after we switched to polling as
well. So I don't think we have any conclusive evidence that
polling actually helps here.
Someone really should root cause the actual problem, and see
if there is a proper workaround we could implemnt (eg. disabling
clock gating/etc.). In the meantime just go back to using the
interrupt for AUX completion.
If the hardware fails to signal the timeout we will just hit
the wait_event_timeout() software timeout instead. I suppose
we could try to tune the software timeout to more closely
match the expected hardware timeout. Might need to use
wait_event_hrtimeout() or something to avoid jiffies
granularity issues...
The AUX polling is also a hinderance towards using poll_timeout_us()
because we have a very long timeout, but would need a fairly short
polling interval to keep AUX transfer reasonably fast. Someone would
need to come up with good numbers in a somewhat scientific way.

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 reStructuredText 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.
