[PATCH v1 RFC 0/2] introduce fallback to pio in spi core

[Robin Gong <yibin.gong@xxxxxxx>]

Introudce fallback pio way at spi core level so that the tx/rx buffer
mapped by spi core for dma could be unmap and fallback pio again. Hence no
need the below patch where 'dma_sync_sg_for_devic' to sync fresh data back
into 'device' memory and sync to 'cpu' again in spi core.

If you want to use this fallback feature, please set 'master->flags' with
SPI_MASTER_FALLBACK and add 'master->fallback' checking in your can_dma()
to ensure it can fallback to pio.
