Currently the src_addr_width and dst_addr_width fields of the
dma_slave_config structure are mapped to the CTLx.SRC_TR_WIDTH and
CTLx.DST_TR_WIDTH fields of the peripheral bus side in order to have the
properly aligned data passed to the target device. It's done just by
converting the passed peripheral bus width to the encoded value using the
__ffs() function. This implementation has several problematic sides:

1. __ffs() is undefined if no bit exist in the passed value. Thus if the
specified addr-width is DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_UNDEFINED, __ffs() may return
unexpected value depending on the platform-specific implementation.

2. DW AHB DMA-engine permits having the power-of-2 transfer width limited
by the DMAH_Mk_HDATA_WIDTH IP-core synthesize parameter. Specifying
bus-width out of that constraints scope will definitely cause unexpected
result since the destination reg will be only partly touched than the
client driver implied.

Let's fix all of that by adding the peripheral bus width verification
method and calling it in dwc_config() which is supposed to be executed
before preparing any transfer. The new method will make sure that the
passed source or destination address width is valid and if undefined then
the driver will just fallback to the 1-byte width transfer.
This patch broke Intel Merrifield iDMA32 + SPI PXA2xx configuration to
me. Since it's first in the series and most likely the rest is
dependent and we are almost at the release date I propose to roll back
and start again after v6.12-rc1 will be out. Vinod, can we revert the
entire series, please?
Indeed all six need to be reverted due to dependency.
I guess it's not the best option, since the patch has already been
backported to the stable kernels anyway. Rolling back it from all of
them seems tiresome. Let's at least try to fix the just discovered
problem?

Could you please provide more details about what exactly happening?

I can reproduce (after working around another issue with the following tip from Andy: The DMA module is loaded _after_ the SPI, and for some reason the DMA engine APIs haven't returned deferred probe and hence the SPI considered the absence of DMA even if we have ACPI description non-fatal. So, you may try to manually unload SPI and load again and it should start showing DMA).

On 6.11.0-rc6 I get:
root@edison:~# ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev5.1 -l
spi mode: 0x20
bits per word: 8
max speed: 500000 Hz (500 kHz)
can't send spi message: Device or resource busy
Aborted (core dumped)

And on 6.11.0-rc7 with the 6 patches reverted:

root@edison:~# ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev5.1 -l -v
spi mode: 0x20
bits per word: 8
max speed: 500000 Hz (500 kHz)
