This is to support systems without physical IRQ connection. The device only requires the IRQ for a couple of internal delays, this polling mechanism is a fallback when no IRQ is specified.
Your changelog here doesn't describe the change - is then intention here to remove the IRQ thread (and presumably open code?) or to make interrupts entirely optional?
Apologies, I thought the word "fallback" would describe the intention of making an optional way for the driver to work in absence of IRQ rather than removing the IRQ thread. Will send an amended (and unnumbered) v3.
Your subject line says that the patch is changing things to work "without an IRQ thread" - the thread specifically. This conflicts with the additional text you've added in the body of the changelog which talks about removing the need for an interrupt entirely.
