Merge series from David Lechner <dlechner@baylibre.com>: We are working towards adding support for the offload feature [1] of the AXI SPI Engine IP core. Before we can do that, we want to make some general fixes and improvements to the driver. In order to avoid a giant series with 35+ patches, we are splitting this up into a few smaller series. This is a continuation of the work started in [2] which has been applied to spi/for-6.8 [3]. This series must be applied on top of that series to apply cleanly. Once this series is applied, we will follow up with the 3rd series that implements the offload support. The offload support will also involve the IIO subsystem (a new IIO driver will depend on the new SPI offload feature), so I'm mentioning this now in case we want to do anything ahead of time to prepare for that (e.g. putting all of these changes on a separate branch).

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 Restructured Text 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.
