Extend SPI offloading to support hardware triggers. This allows an arbitrary hardware trigger to be used to start a SPI transfer that was previously set up with spi_optimize_message(). A new struct spi_offload_trigger is introduced that can be used to configure any type of trigger. It has a type discriminator and a union to allow it to be extended in the future. Two trigger types are defined to start with. One is a trigger that indicates that the SPI peripheral is ready to read or write data. The other is a periodic trigger to repeat a SPI message at a fixed rate. There is also a spi_offload_hw_trigger_validate() function that works similar to clk_round_rate(). It basically asks the question of if we enabled the hardware trigger what would the actual parameters be. This can be used to test if the requested trigger type is actually supported by the hardware and for periodic triggers, it can be used to find the actual rate that the hardware is capable of.

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.
