And the down-shot is that whatever is done in dspi_remove (free_irq)
also needs to be done in dspi_suspend, but with extra care in
dspi_resume not only to request the irq again, but also to flush the
module's FIFOs and clear interrupts, because there might have been
nasty stuff uncaught during sleep:

    regmap_update_bits(dspi->regmap, SPI_MCR,
               SPI_MCR_CLR_TXF | SPI_MCR_CLR_RXF,
               SPI_MCR_CLR_TXF | SPI_MCR_CLR_RXF);
    regmap_write(dspi->regmap, SPI_SR, SPI_SR_CLEAR);

So it's pretty messy.
