Few SPI devices provide accelerated read interfaces to read from
SPI-NOR flash devices. These hardwares also support DMA to transfer data
from flash to memory either via mem-to-mem DMA or dedicated slave DMA
channels. Hence, add support for DMA in order to improve throughput and
reduce CPU load.
Use spi_map_buf() to get sg table for the buffer and pass it to SPI
driver.

This is unconditionally DMA mapping the buffer if DMA is supported.
That's going to be common but I'm not sure it'll be universal, we need
to think of something better here.  I'm not immediately seeing what
though.  Possibly a flag...

Ok, I will introduced a flag along the lines of cur_msg_mapped currently
part of spi_message struct.

This reminds me the issue of possible kmap'd buffers(falling in
PKMAP_BASE - PAGE_OFFSET-1  region) that might be passed to
spi_map_buf() which are not currently being handled properly. Boris
attempted to fix this in generic way[1] but was rejected as it couldn't
handle all type of caches.
I was wondering whether you would accept a patch returning error when
kmap'd buffers are passed to spi_map_buf()? Or would it still make sense
to port changes from that series to handle kmap'd buffers to SPI core alone?
