[RFC/PATCH 1/3] driver: spi: Modify core to compute the message length

[Sourav Poddar]

Make spi core calculate the message length while
populating the other transfer parameters. This will
be useful in cases where controller driver need to configure its 
framelength field without iterating through the linklist again in the
driver controller.
