Would checking if (client->irq) field is populated, to decide between
polling and interrupts be a good approach?

I am sorry but I did not understand what you meant by device getting
enumerated. The device is on an I2C bus and gets enumerated based on the
I2C address provided. The device does not have I2C_IRQ line connected,
in my case.
