Unless it gets modified in later patches, flip this to reduce indent a bit + early exit
in the simple case of no irq.
	if (irq <= 0)
		return 0;

	xadc->convst_...

Having this in here seems more complex to me than moving it
to the caller and passing (*ops)->type in as a parameter
for this function.

Whilst I appreciate the aim of reducing repetition, I'm not
totally convinced this helper has the right balance of
saving code to readability.
