Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] introduce fallback to pio in spi core

Introudce fallback pio way at spi core level so that the tx/rx buffer
mapped by spi core for dma could be unmap and fallback pio again. Hence no
need the below patch where 'dma_sync_sg_for_devic' to sync fresh data back
into 'device' memory and sync to 'cpu' again in spi core.
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg812236.html

If you want to use this fallback feature, please set xfer->error with
SPI_TRANS_FAIL_NO_START in case dma transfer failed(but no any data push
into spi bus yet) in spi client driver and add 'master->fallback' checking
in your can_dma() to ensure spi core can fallback to pio next time.

change from:
v2: 
  1. Add error flag in stuct spi_transfer and fallback to pio if spi client
     return SPI_TRANS_FAIL_NO_START failure before dma transfer start.
  2. Remove SPI_MASTER_FALLBACK set on master->flags since the above error
     flag could ensure no any impact for other spi client drivers which don't
     need this feature.
