This adds a new spi_optimize_message() function that can be used to optimize SPI messages that are used more than once. Peripheral drivers that use the same message multiple times can use this API to perform SPI message validation and controller-specific optimizations once and then reuse the message while avoiding the overhead of revalidating the message on each spi_(a)sync() call. Internally, the SPI core will also call this function for each message if the peripheral driver did not explicitly call it. This is done to so that controller drivers don't have to have multiple code paths for optimized and non-optimized messages. A hook is provided for controller drivers to perform controller-specific optimizations.

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.
