Currently, even if the PXA2xx SPI master supports DMA, it won't be enabled unless (i) the slave device is enumerated through ACPI, or (ii) the slave device is registered with board-specific controller_data specified. Even then, there isn't a field in the controller_data that explicitly enables dma - it just gets enabled if the master supports it and controller_data is non-NULL. This means that drivers which register SPI devices on a bus without awareness of this controller cannot avail of DMA performance gains. This patch allows DMA transfers to be used if supported.
