Mark and Andy are right. It is a good candidate to be in a generic IRQ-related
code as Anyd suggested:

So if you feel like to author additional useful patch integrated into the
kernel, this one is a good chance for it.

Please note. The chip->poll and the poll_transfer() methods've been discarded
from the driver, since commit 1ceb09717e98 ("spi: dw: remove cs_control and
poll_mode members from chip_data"). So you gonna have to get the
poll_transfer-like method back.
