OK. I dint consider interrupt sharing. 
Do you think the following implementation would be better?

status = IRQ_NONE;
if (intr_status & CDNS_SPI_IXR_MODF_MASK) {
	/* Handle this interrupt here */
	status = IRQ_HANDLED;
} else if (intr_status & CDNS_SPI_IXR_TXOW_MASK) {
	/* Handle this interrupt here */
	status = IRQ_HANDLED;
}

return status;

Regards,
Harini
