The SPI controller's documentation (I only had access to the RK3399,
RK3368 and PX30 TRMs) specifies that, when operating in master-mode,
the controller will stop the SCLK to avoid RXFIFO overruns and TXFIFO
underruns. Looks like my worries that we'd need to support DMA-330
(aka PL330) to make any further progress were unfounded.
This adds a driver-data structure to capture hardware-specific
settings of individual controller instances (after all, we don't know
if all versions are well-behaved) and adds a 'master_manages_fifo'
flag to it. The first use of said flag is in the optimised
receive-only transfer-handler, which can now request 64Kframe
(i.e. 128KByte) bursts of data on each reprogramming of CTRLR1
(i.e. every time through the loop).
This improves throughput to 46.85MBit/s (a 94.65% bus-utilisation).
