We have seen a number of downstream patches that allow enabling the
realtime feature of the SPI subsystem to reduce latency. These were
usually implemented for a specific SPI driver, even though the actual
handling of the rt flag is happening in the generic SPI controller code.
Introduce a generic linux,use-rt-queue flag that can be used with any
controller driver. The now redundant driver-specific pl022,rt flag is
marked as deprecated.
