The repeated addition of code here is indeed confusing. :-)

I noticed that this patch has been merged into the spi repository for-next tree:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git/commit/?id=f1011ba20b83da3ee70dcb4a6d9d282a718916fa
and there is also a related patch:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git/commit/?id=7781f1d120fec8624fc654eda900fc8748262082

The return type of the 'irq_of_parse_and_map' function is 'unsigned
int', here we use an 'int' type variable 'irq' to receive the interrupt number,
this might not be very accurate.

Would it be better to change the type of the 'irqnum' variable? and do
not need to check if 'irqnum' is negative, like this:

           if (!hw->irqnum) {
                    dev_err(dev, "no IRQ resource\n");
                    ret = -EINVAL;
                    goto free_host;
           }
