RX DMA tail data handling doesn't work correctly in many cases with current

and RX TAIL events. And RX TAIL event does not work correctly.
This can be easily verified by sending SPI transaction with size modulus
WML(32 in our case) not equal 0.
Also removing change introduced in f6ee9b582d2db652497b73c1f117591dfb6d3a90
since this change only fix usecases with transfer size from 33 to 128 bytes
and does not fix 129 bytes etc.
This is output from transaction with len 138 bytes in loopback mode at 10Mhz:

Zeros at offset 33 and 34 caused by reading empty RX FIFO which not possible
if DMA RX read was triggered by RX event. This mean DMA was triggered
by RX TAIL event.

Must transfer->len really be bigger than spi_imx->wml? I would assume it
should be >= instead. And where is the * sizeof(u32) gone? If that's
unnecessary I heven't understood why.
Sascha
Agree on '>='. Will be in V6.
As for missing sizeof(u32).
According to SoC specification it's possible to operate with 8- or 16
bits word directly by setting proper value in word_width field in CFG
register. I do not know the what exactly is fixed by f6ee9b582d, but I
could suspect such scenario:
Some SPI client (spi-nor?) trying to perform SPI transaction with len
mod 32 not equal zero. It could be any value between 33 and 127,
excluding 64. But since DMA RX tail functionality does not work
correctly RX contains some garbage.
But since this commit make can_dma more strict there is no need in old
fix anymore.
I'll double check with oscilloscope to be sure SPI stream looks good.
Sascha, if you still thinks we need to have sizeof(32) please provide
the use case or example so I can work on it.
BTW, we need to multiply WML by word size to correctly support 16- and
32-bits words, but this is done in following commit.
