If we're sending bytes over SPI, we know the FIFO is empty at the start of the transfer. There's no reason to wait for the interrupt telling us to start--we can just start right away. Then if we transmit everything in one swell foop we don't even need to bother listening for TX interrupts. In a test of "flashrom -p ec -r /tmp/foo.bin" interrupts were reduced from ~30560 to ~29730, about a 3% savings. This patch looks bigger than it is because I moved a few functions rather than adding a forward declaration. The only actual change to geni_spi_handle_tx() was to make it return a bool indicating if there is more to tx.

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.
