Patch to parameterize DMA_MIN_BYTES for omap2-mcspi

[Greg Knight <g.knight@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Mark,

I've attached a patch which adds a device-tree field "ti,dma-min-bytes"
which replaces the macro DMA_MIN_BYTES. Adjusting this field addresses
issues we've had where, in our particular use case, the usleep() in the
SPI worker thread eats a full 20% of our CPU (AM3359).

I opted to implement it as a device-tree parameter and keep the original
value (160) as the default, in order to avoid impacting anyone else.

The patch is attached. Patches 1-2 are an unrelated McASP change (see my
other message).

What is the process for getting this upstreamed?

Thanks,
Greg
