[PATCH v4 7/7] spi: imx: defer spi initialization, if DMA engine is pending

From: Anton Bondarenko
Date: Fri Nov 27 2015 - 18:17:27 EST


If SPI device supports DMA mode, but DMA controller is not yet
available due to e.g. a delay in the corresponding kernel module
initialization, retry to initialize SPI driver later on instead of
falling back into PIO only mode.
