In mainline the DMA descriptor setup is split out into the dw_spi_dma_prepare_tx() and dw_spi_dma_prepare_rx() functions. If they return NULL then mid_spi_dma_transfer() doesn't attempt to submit adescriptor to the respective channel, but it still returns 0. So not only is this backport pretty useless, but so is the upstream 'fix'.
