[PATCH 01/13] spi: add core support for controllers with offload capabilities

[David Lechner]

This adds a feature for specialized SPI controllers that can record
a series of SPI transfers, including tx data, cs assertions, delays,
etc. and then play them back using a hardware trigger without CPU
intervention.

The intended use case for this is with the AXI SPI Engine to capture
data from ADCs at high rates (MSPS) with a stable sample period.

Most of the implementation is controller-specific and will be handled by
drivers that implement the offload_ops callbacks. The API follows a
prepare/enable pattern that should be familiar to users of the clk
subsystem.

Consumers of this API will make calls similar to this:

    /* in probe() */
    offload = spi_offload_get(spi, 0);
    ...

    /* in some setup function */
    ret = spi_offload_prepare(offload, xfers, ARRAY_SIZE(xfers));
    ...

    /* in some enable function */
    ret = spi_offload_enable(offload);
    ...

    /* in corresponding disable function */
    spi_offload_disable(offload);
    ...

    /* in corresponding teardown function */
    spi_offload_unprepare(offload);
    ...
