Add get_buf, put_buf api support in spi master.
This can be used in a scenario where spi controller
supports memory mapped operations(typically with flash devices).
So, the memcpy needs top be done in slave devices which need the
required memory mapped address. These api can be used to get that
master address.
These can also be used to turm the master controller clock, as usually
the clocks get turned in spi core. But, in memory mapped case, we will
bypass the spi core and hence needa way out to turn on the controller clock.
