Most configuration of SPI offloads is handled opaquely using the offload pointer that is passed to the various offload functions. However, there are some offload features that need to be controlled on a per transfer basis. This patch adds a flag field to struct spi_transfer to allow specifying such features. The first feature to be added is the ability to stream data to/from a hardware sink/source rather than using a tx or rx buffer. Additional flags can be added in the future as needed. A flags field is also added to the offload struct for providers to indicate which flags are supported. This allows for generic checking of offload capabilities during __spi_validate() so that each offload provider doesn't have to implement their own validation. As a first users of this streaming capability, getter functions are added to get a DMA channel that is directly connected to the offload. Peripheral drivers will use this to get a DMA channel and configure it to suit their needs.

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.
