Yes this is one way to implement.
But do you see any issue in batching 64 bytes at a time in case of
transaction > 64 Bytes.
I feel batching will be more efficient as it avoids more number of
interrupts and hence context switch.

#define MAX_SLAVE_RX_PER_INT         10

is not hw fifo threshold level, it is a kind of watermark for the
tasklet to process the max number of packets in single run.
The intention to add the macro is to make sure the tasklet does not
run more than 20us.
If we keep this as a module parameter or dt parameter then there is a
good possibility that the number can be set to higher value.
This will make the tasklet run more than 20us and defeat the purpose.

This number is constant and not variable to change

Please feel free to add your comments.
