Subject: [PATCH 1/2] spi: introduce SPI_TRANS_FAIL_IO for error reporting

The default message transfer implementation - spi_transfer_one_message -
invokes the specific device driver's transfer_one(), then waits for
completion. However, there is no mechanism for the device driver to
report failure in the middle of the transfer.

Introduce SPI_TRANS_FAIL_IO for drivers to report transfer failure.
