Subject: [PATCH v5 08/16] spi: dw: Fix Rx-only DMA transfers

Tx-only DMA transfers are working perfectly fine since in this case
the code just ignores the Rx FIFO overflow interrupts. But it turns
out the SPI Rx-only transfers are broken since nothing pushing any
data to the shift registers, so the Rx FIFO is left empty and the
SPI core subsystems just returns a timeout error. Since DW DMAC
driver doesn't support something like cyclic write operations of
a single byte to a device register, the only way to support the
Rx-only SPI transfers is to fake it by using a dummy Tx-buffer.
This is what we intend to fix in this commit by setting the
SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_TX flag for DMA-capable platform.
