[PATCH RFC v3 4/9] spi: add offload TX/RX streaming APIs

[David Lechner <dlechner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most configuration of SPI offloads is handled opaquely using the
function ID that is passed to the various offload functions. However,
there are some offload features that need to be controlled on a per
transfer basis.

This patch adds a flag field to the spi_transfer structure to allow
specifying such features. The first feature to be added is the ability
to stream data to/from a hardware sink/source rather than using a tx or
rx buffer. Additional flags can be added in the future as needed.

A flags field is also added to the controller struct for controllers to
indicate which flags are supported. This allows for generic checking of
offload capabilities during __spi_validate() so that each controller
doesn't have to provide their own validation.

As a first users of this streaming capability, getter functions are
added to get a DMA channel that is directly connected to the offload.
Peripheral drivers will use this to get a DMA channel and configure it
to suit their needs.

v3 changes:
* Added spi_offload_{tx,rx}_stream_get_dma_chan() functions.

v2 changes:

This is also split out from "spi: add core support for controllers with
offload capabilities".

In the previous version, we were using (void *)-1 as a sentinel value
that could be assigned, e.g. to rx_buf. But this was naive since there
is core code that would try to dereference this pointer. So instead,
we've added a new flags field to the spi_transfer structure for this
sort of thing. This also has the advantage of being able to be used in
the future for other arbitrary features.
