This is a DT based driver but there is no binding documentation.
Binding documentation is required for any new DT stuff.

Why the ARM dependency?  There's no architecture specific headers
included...

Please keep Kconfig and Makefile alphabetically sorted to reduce
conflicts.

This doesn't look at all driver specific with the current naming but it
actually is given that other drivers may use other driver data so it
should be renamed.  I'm also not clear why it's bouncing through the
platform device, dev_get_drvdata() exists.

Is this really useful?  If the driver needs to reconfigure for every
message then it should just do that and not care about the state.  If it
might end up caring about the state anyway that suggests there's some
kind of bug somewhere that's being masked.

Use auto_runtime_pm.

Does this really need a likely/unlikely annotation - it shouldn't be any
kind of hot path...  There's a lot of these annotations in the code.

Why are we dynamically requesting the IRQ outside of probe?  Normally an
interrupt is requested on startup and held through the life of the
device.  I'm also not seeing any sign that it's freed except via devm...

Don't do this, just set bus_num to -1 and let the core assign an ID.

This is broken, the virtual SPI device does not exist in DT and this
might break things.

No devm?
