[PATCH RFC v2 2/8] spi: add basic support for SPI offloading

[David Lechner <dlechner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SPI offloading is a feature that allows the SPI controller to perform
complex transfers without CPU intervention. This is useful, e.g. for
high-speed data acquisition.

This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support SPI offloading. It
introduces new callbacks that are to be implemented by controllers with
offload capabilities.

On SPI device probe, the standard spi-offloads devicetree property is
parsed and passed to the controller driver to reserve the resources
requested by the peripheral via the map_channel() callback.

The peripheral driver can then use spi_offload_prepare() to load a SPI
message into the offload hardware.

If the controller supports it, this message can then be passed to the
SPI message queue as if it was a normal message. Future patches will
will also implement a way to use a hardware trigger to start the message
transfers rather than going through the message queue.

v2 changes:

This is a rework of "spi: add core support for controllers with offload
capabilities" from v1.

The spi_offload_get() function that Nuno didn't like is gone. Instead,
there is now a mapping callback that uses the new generic devicetree
binding to request resources automatically when a SPI device is probed.

The spi_offload_enable/disable() functions for dealing with hardware
triggers are deferred to a separate patch.

This leaves adding spi_offload_prepare/unprepare() which have been
reworked to be a bit more robust.

In the previous review, Mark suggested that these functions should not
be separate from the spi_[un]optimize() functions. I understand the
reasoning behind that. However, it seems like there are two different
kinds of things going on here. Currently, spi_optimize() only performs
operations on the message data structures and doesn't poke any hardware.
This makes it free to be use by any peripheral without worrying about
tying up any hardware resources while the message is "optimized". On the
other hand, spi_offload_prepare() is poking hardware, so we need to be
more careful about how it is used. And in these cases, we need a way to
specify exactly which hardware resources it should use, which it is
currently doing with the extra ID parameter.
