To be able to use DMA with this driver on non-PXA platforms we implement
support for the generic DMA engine API. This lets user to use different DMA
engines with little or no modification to the driver.

Request lines and channel numbers can be passed to the driver from the
platform specific data.

The DMA engine implementation will be selected by default even on PXA
platform. User can select the legacy DMA API by enabling Kconfig option
CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX_PXADMA.

<title>spi/pxa2xx: break out the private DMA API usage into a separate file</title>

The PXA SPI driver uses PXA platform specific private DMA implementation
which does not work on non-PXA platforms. In order to use this driver on
other platforms we break out the private DMA implementation into a separate
file that gets compiled only when CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX_PXADMA is set. The DMA
functions are stubbed out if there is no DMA implementation selected (i.e
we are building on non-PXA platform).

While we are there we can kill the dummy DMA bits in pxa2xx_spi.h as they
are not needed anymore for CE4100.

Once this is done we can add the generic DMA engine support to the driver
that allows usage of any DMA controller that implements DMA engine API.

This driver is obsolete and can't even be built anymore since the
platform it depends has been removed.

The STMP series is completely covered by the MXS platform these days, so
spi-mxs can be used instead.

Pull MIPS update from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the MIPS update for 3.7.

  A fair chunk of them are platform updates to the Cavium Octeon SOC
  (which involves machine generated header files of considerable size),
  Atheros ATH79xx, RMI aka Netlogic aka Broadcom XLP, Broadcom BCM63xx
  platforms.

  Support for the commercial MIPS simulator MIPSsim has been removed as
  MIPS Technologies is shifting away from this product and Qemu is
  offering various more powerful platforms.  The generic MIPS code can
  now also probe for no-execute / write-only TLB features implemented
  without the full SmartMIPS extension as permitted by the latest MIPS
  processor architecture.  Lots of small changes to generic code."

* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: (78 commits)
  MIPS: ath79: Fix CPU/DDR frequency calculation for SRIF PLLs
  MIPS: ath79: use correct fractional dividers for {CPU,DDR}_PLL on AR934x
  MIPS: BCM63XX: Properly handle mac address octet overflow
  MIPS: Kconfig: Avoid build errors by hiding USE_OF from the user.
  MIPS: Replace `-' in defconfig filename wth `_' for consistency.
  MIPS: Wire kcmp syscall.
  MIPS: MIPSsim: Remove the MIPSsim platform.
  MIPS: NOTIFY_RESUME is not needed in TIF masks
  MIPS: Merge the identical "return from syscall" per-ABI code
  MIPS: Unobfuscate _TIF..._MASK
  MIPS: Prevent hitting do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(regs).
  MIPS: Replace 'kernel_uses_smartmips_rixi' with 'cpu_has_rixi'.
  MIPS: Add base architecture support for RI and XI.
  MIPS: Optimise TLB handlers for MIPS32/64 R2 cores.
  MIPS: uasm: Add INS and EXT instructions.
  MIPS: Avoid pipeline stalls on some MIPS32R2 cores.
  MIPS: Make VPE count to be one-based.
  MIPS: Add new end of interrupt functionality for GIC.
  MIPS: Add EIC support for GIC.
  MIPS: Code clean-ups for the GIC.

<id>536a53a300d0d40152796eefb0a9e6e36ca37f7d</id>
<content type='text'>
The current SPI driver has many issues. Examples are:

* Segfaulting on most transfers due to expecting all transfers to have
  both RX and TX buffers.
* Hanging on TX transfers since the whole driver flow is driven by RX
  DMA completion, but the HW is only told to enable RX for RX transfers.
* Use of clk_disable_unprepare() from atomic context.
* Once those and other minor issues are fixed, the driver still doesn't
  actually work.
* The driver also implements a deprecated API to the SPI core.

For this reason, simply remove the driver completely. This has two
advantages:

1) This will remove the last use of Tegra's &lt;mach/dma.h&gt;, which will
   allow that file to be removed, which is required for single zImage
   work.

2) The downstream driver is significaly different from the current
   code. I believe a patch to re-add the downstream driver (with
   appropriate cleanup) will be much simpler to review if it's a new
   file rather than randomly interspered with essentially unrelated
   existing code.
