Despite the name, I believe this controller is used for generic SPI
stuff as well.  I'm not sure if there is a separate one which is more
generic (James?).

Ok, I'll add a timeout or something here.

Ok.

I don't think so.  The spfi_pio_* functions just read/write from the
FIFO until it's empty/full - they don't check for any errors, nor are
there really any to check for.  The loop will time-out eventually if
we are unable to transmit/receive the requested number of bytes.

We don't relax in the transfers - would that be a better place to put
it?  I thought it was better here since we reach this point once the
TX FIFO has filled or RX FIFO has emptied.

It starts/stops the transfer.  The control registers (bit clock,
transfer mode, etc.) must be programmed before the enable bit is set
and the bit does not clear itself upon completion of the transfer.  I
don't think it makes sense to have this be part of runtime PM.

Actually it looks like they are symmetric.  I'll update these checks
to enforce that.

There's a clear register actually (see the writel() above), but yes,
an error and returning IRQ_NONE sound appropriate in the event of an
unexpected interrupt.

Ok, will do.
