[PATCH] spi: davinci: Allow device tree devices to use DMA

From: David Lechner
Date: Fri Nov 18 2016 - 23:41:50 EST


This makes SPI devices specified in a device tree use DMA when the master
controller has DMA configured.

Since device tree is supposed to only describe the hardware, adding a
configuration option to device tree to enable DMA per-device would not be
acceptable. So, this is the best we can do for now to get SPI devices
working with DMA when using device tree.

Unfortunately, this excludes the possibility of using one SPI device with
DMA and one without on the same master.

I have tested this on LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 using the NOR flash. Reading the
flash memory would fail with -EIO when DMA is not enabled for the device.
