OK I've added a respective helper call which would map 1-1 with the
old sync mechanism to enable a 1-1 change, this will be called
driver_data_request_simple(), but let me know if there is a preference
for something else.

With this the only visible delta now is from taking advantage of new
features. In p54's case this would re-organize the mess in
drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/p54spi.c, the diff stat is a bit
larger for that file just because of this but I think in this case
its very much worth the small additions. In this case two routines are
added for handling the work through callbacks on a sync call.
