Reject transfer if both tx_buf and rx_buf are NULL for non-zero length transfer.
Add the checking in spi core so we can remove the same checking in various
drivers.

Just wondering: are there any SPI slave drivers that implement dummy cycles
this way?

I think I found one such case:
drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_spi.c
the dummy_trans has non-zero length, and both tx_buf and rx_buf are NULL.

But that means it doesn't work with master drivers with this checking, e.g.
all drivers using bitbang library has this checking.

Regards,
Axel

I have to say that this seems rather abusive on the part of the driver,
it's going to cause implementation issues in the masters - I expect more
than just those that check aren't doing to do the right thing.

The ChromeOS EC apparently does this.
