Okay, how about adding this additional argument in struct spi_transfer like below?
diff --git a/include/linux/spi/spi.h b/include/linux/spi/spi.h

While spi core checking it as below after it set in spi-imx.c:
fallback_pio:
        ret = ctlr->transfer_one(ctlr, msg->spi, xfer);
        if (ret < 0) {
                 if (ctlr->cur_msg_mapped &&
                   (xfer->flags & SPI_TRANS_DMA_PREP_FAIL)) {

                   ctlr->fallback = true;
                   xfer->flags &= ~SPI_TRANS_DMA_PREP_FAIL;
                   goto fallback_pio;
                 }
