As a general principal, it is best to do as little as possible in an interrupt handler. This patch reworks the AXI SPI Engine driver to move timer_delete_sync() and spi_finalize_current_message() out of the interrupt handler. Instead, spi_finalize_current_message() is moved to the transfer_one_message function (similar to nearly all other SPI controllers). A completion is now used to wait for the sync interrupt that indicates that the message is complete. The watchdog timer is no longer needed since we can use the wait_for_completion_timeout() function to wait for the message to complete with the same effect. As a bonus, these changes also improve throughput of the SPI controller. For example, this was tested on a ZynqMP with a 80MHz SCLK reading 4 byte samples from an ADC. The max measured throughput increased from 26k to 28k samples per second.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
