Yes, I plan to revert this patch once m25p80 starts using bounce buffers.

I am interested in knowing which other SPI clients end up passing non
DMA'able buffers. AFAIK, its UBIFS and JFFS2. Most other SPI devices on
TI boards that I have dealt with like Touch, Sensors (IIO), GPIO
expanders etc all provide DMA'able buffers.
