There's no concurrency protection in this code so if two users try to do
ADC reads simultaneously they'll interfere with each other.

This isn't the standard kernel coding style - checkpatch.pl can help
spot issues like this (there's many other examples throughout the code).

It'd seem helpful to return any error code that read_dev() returns to
the caller.

This looks like part of the old non-standard IRQ code previous versions
of these patches had?  Looks like this should be merged into the IRQ
code if it's needed at all.

Is this really a platform device?

The usual style would just be "da9052_i2c" - the fact that this is an
I2C device ID makes it obvious that the device is an I2C one.

The IRQ controller code probably shouldn't know anything about I2C or
SPI given that you've got a separate layer doing register I/O.

You should be applying the changes made while locked here - the locked
region should be atomic.

This is out of date with current mainline, you should be using the irq_
variants of the operations which take an irq_desc rather than IRQ
number.

It'd be nice to credit the code you're drawing inspiration from :)

These dependencies look wrong - they'll force both I2C and SPI to be
built in even though only one of them will be required by the driver in
a given system.

Since you're implementing directly with genirq you don't need this
stuff, some drivers have it as they were written before genirq could
support devices on sleepy buses.
