The spi helper function do the same what do you there in several
functions in this driver. Look in 'drivers/spi/spi.c'. This would
decrease much the code count.

Ah, we only need a reinit_completion after a complete_all. Ok, sorry :-)

Yes, you are right but there is also a
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout. I mean for the case if you
waiting forever and no irq hits.

I meant something like this:

if (!gpio_is_valid(pdata->fifo)) {
	dev_err(&spi->dev, "fifo gpio is not valid\n");
	ret = -EINVAL;
	goto err_hw_init;
}

ret = devm_gpio_request_one(&spi->dev, pdata->fifo,
			    GPIOF_IN, "fifo");
if (ret)
	goto err_hw_init;
