A few additional comments, but basically fine.

Why not simply
	if (IS_ERR(resource->offload) {
		kfree(resource);
		return resource->offload;

This is rarely done in headers. (only pwm.h does it I think)
I'd push it down into code that uses this.

It might be worth splitting the header into a spi-offload-provider.h
and spi-offload-consumer.h with a common spi-offload-types.h included
by both.

Not used so introduce it only when needed (I guess in a later patch).
