But it's up to you what to do with that.
Maybe Jonathan can advice something different.

The spinlock also protects the call to spi_async().
I don't get this. Locks usually protect the data and not the code.
Can you elaborate?

Either the DRDY or SPI completion handler will call spi_async(), the lock assures that it's only called by one.

Usually the DRDY handler will call spi_async(). If the next DRDY arrives before the spi_async transfer finishes, the SPI completion handler must call spi_async() a.s.a.p. to also read the newly arrived sample. There's no way to ask the chip whether there's data to read, so all the driver can do is use the ISR to remember that DRDY did trigger.

The lock protects that the "busy" counter matches the actual pending calls to spi_async, and also protects that only one handler will call spi_async (and update the counter).

Maybe this picture helps:

DRDY ---+-----+-----+-----+-

SPI ------+------------+-+--

busy 00001100011111112211101
