Linus Torvalds 7ae0ae4a02 spi: Updates for v4.8
Quite a lot of cleanup and maintainence work going on this release in
 various drivers, and also a fix for a nasty locking issue in the core:
 
  - A fix for locking issues when external drivers explicitly locked the
    bus with spi_bus_lock() - we were using the same lock to both control
    access to the physical bus in multi-threaded I/O operations and
    exclude multiple callers.  Confusion between these two caused us to
    have scenarios where we were dropping locks.  These are fixed by
    splitting into two separate locks like should have been done
    originally, making everything much clearer and correct.
  - Support for DMA in spi_flash_read().
  - Support for instantiating spidev on ACPI systems, including some test
    devices used in Windows validation.
  - Use of the core DMA mapping functionality in the McSPI driver.
  - Start of support for ThunderX SPI controllers, involving a very big
    set of changes to the Cavium driver.
  - Support for Braswell, Exynos 5433, Kaby Lake, Merrifield, RK3036,
    RK3228, RK3368 controllers.
