Subject: [PATCH v3 5/9] spi: spi-mem: Allow masters to transfer dummy cycles directly by hardware

This patch adds a flag SPI_MASTER_USES_HW_DUMMY_CYCLES for the controllers
that support transfer of dummy cycles by the hardware directly.

For controller with this flag set, spi-mem driver will skip dummy bytes
transfer in the spi message.

Controller drivers can get the number of dummy cycles from spi_message.
