Merge series from Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>: This patch series (A) improves single transfer sizes in the MSIOF driver, using two methods: - By increasing the assumed FIFO sizes, impacting both PIO and DMA transfers, - By using two groups, impacting DMA transfers, and (B) lets the recently-introduced MSIOF I2S drive reuse the SPI driver's register definitions. All of this is covered with a thick sauce of fixes for (harmless) bugs, cleanups, and refactorings. Note that the driver uses the limitations as specified in the hardware documentation. For discovering the actual FIFO sizes, I wrote some crude test code that can be found at [2]. This is based on spi/for-next and sound-asoc/for-next, and has been tested on a variery of R-Car SoCs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
