Yes

You are definitely right: it's far better to call wake_up() just once
after the consuming loop if there is any response pending. I'll do that.

However, I am not sure there is much to gain in moving the consuming
loop out of the irq handler: it's pretty short and doesn't call any long
running or sleeping functions.
