[PATCH] spi: spi-bcm2835.c: Fix 3-wire mode

[Nuno SÃ]

As stated in
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md,
one of rx or tx buffer's must be null. However, if DMA is enabled, the
driver sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX | SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_TX on the
controller flags. Hence, the spi core will provide dummy buffers even if
one of the buffers was set to null by the device driver. Thus, the
communication with the 3-wire device fails.

This patch uses the prepare_message callback to look for the device mode
and sets/clears the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX | SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_TX on a
per spi message basis. It also assumes that DMA is not supported on
half-duplex devices.
