IIUC, for the sake of that one corner case, you have added the polling
Kconfig and will be enabled for all the case and even on other platforms
in a single Image. I think we could be something better, no ?

Please share details on that one corner case.
Is it in the scmi drivers already ? If so, specifics please.
If no, again provide details on how you plan to use. We do have ways
to make a polling call, but haven't mixed it with interrupt based calls
for a reason, but we can revisit if it makes sense.
