Rafal,

This patch still doesn't work on my ep93xx system.

FWIW, I have two devices on my SPI bus:

static struct spi_board_info vision_spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
	{
		.modalias		= "sst25l",
		.platform_data		= &vision_spi_flash_data,
		.controller_data	= &vision_spi_flash_hw,
		.max_speed_hz		= 20000000,
		.bus_num		= 0,
		.chip_select		= 0,
		.mode			= SPI_MODE_3,
	}, {
		.modalias		= "mmc_spi",
		.platform_data		= &vision_spi_mmc_data,
		.controller_data	= &vision_spi_mmc_hw,
		.max_speed_hz		= 20000000,
		.bus_num		= 0,
		.chip_select		= 1,
		.mode			= SPI_MODE_3,
	},
};

static struct ep93xx_spi_info vision_spi_master __initdata = {
	.num_chipselect		= ARRAY_SIZE(vision_spi_board_info),
	.use_dma		= true,
};

With your patch applied I get these relevant messages during boot:

sst25l spi0.0: sst25lf040a (512 KiB)

And /proc/interrupts shows this right after boot:

Without your patch I get this:

It appears your patch is causing an interrupt storm on my system.
