The interrupt is only generated by the hardware at the completion of

the A/D conversion is complete and data is available is probably
unnecessary but it doesn't hurt anything.

The busywait loop is a different issue. Interrupt routines should not
busywait. That's just mean...

Remove the bustwait and use pcl816_ai_eoc() to check for the end-of-
conversion.

Curiously, the user manual for this card suggests the interrupt occurs at the start of the conversion, rather than the end. On page 42 of the user manual:

5.7. A/D Data Transfer
[snip]
2. Interrupt Routine
[...]   At the start of each conversion, the A/D Trigger signal generates an interrupt that enables the interrupt service routine to perform the transfer. [...]



So it seems the interrupt routine needs to wait for the DRDY bit to be set, at least for this transfer mode, which isn't actually used by the driver! I think this mode was disabled for reliability reasons in the dim and distant past, although it seems it was only half-disabled; pcl816_ai_cmd() only uses the DMA modes, but command support is enabled in pcl816_attach() even if the DMA channel has not been configured (it shouldn't be allowed unless both the IRQ and DMA channel have been configured).
