The patch

   spi: pxa2xxx: change "no DMA channels..." msg from debug to warning

has been applied to the spi tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Subject: [PATCH] spi: pxa2xxx: change "no DMA channels..." msg from debug to
 warning

Change the type of the diagnostic message:

"no DMA channels available, using PIO"

from debug to warning.

The lack of an available DMA channel is very important regard the
spi-pxa2xx performance. The transfer speed can be reduced more than 50%.

So it is very important to warn the user about this, without enabling
the full SPI debug with CONFIG_SPI_DEBUG.

Moreover, enabling the full SPI debug only to enable this specific
debug message, the dmesg buffer fills quickly with a lot of
repetitive information during the SPI data transfer.
This cause the loss of all the first important messages
written during the initialization.
