This code would be exercised *only* when DMA mode is enabled in
firmware.. Both SPI and I2C driver would probe the mode supported
(reason for exposing stuff in first two patches of this series)..

Only if the device reports we should enable it.. Also if the device is
working with FIFO mode then DMA mode wont work..

Is the peripheral working with FIFO mode, then answer is yes :)
