Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add multi mode support for omap-mcspi

This series adds the support for the omap-mcspi multi mode which allows
sending SPI messages with a shorter delay between CS and the message.

One drawback of the multi-mode is that the CS is raised between each word, 
so it can only be used with messages containing 1 word transfers and 
asking for cs_change. Few devices, like FPGAs, may easily workaround this 
limitation.

The first patch removes the current implementation, which is working, but 
don't comply with what is asked in the spi transfer (The CS is raised by 
the hardware regardless of cs_change state). No drivers or board file use this 
implementation upstream.

The second patch adds the implementation of the multi-mode, which complies 
with what is asked in the SPI message.

The third patch is the suggested optimization for using MULTI mode in more 
situations.
