In cases of short transfer times the CPU is spending lots of time
in the interrupt handler and scheduler to reschedule the worker thread.
Measurements show that we have times where it takes 29.32us to between
the last clock change and the time that the worker-thread is running again
returning from wait_for_completion_timeout().
During this time the interrupt-handler is running calling complete()
and then also the scheduler is rescheduling the worker thread.
This time can vary depending on how much of the code is still in
CPU-caches, when there is a burst of spi transfers the subsequent delays
are in the order of 25us, so the value of 30us seems reasonable.
With polling the whole transfer of 4 bytes at 10MHz finishes after 6.16us
(CS down to up) with the real transfer (clock running) taking 3.56us.
So the efficiency has much improved and is also freeing CPU cycles,
reducing interrupts and context switches.
Because of the above 30us seems to be a reasonable limit for polling.

Transforms the bcm-2835 native SPI-chip select to their gpio-cs equivalent.
This allows for some support of some optimizations that are not
possible due to HW-gliches on the CS line - especially filling
the FIFO before enabling SPI interrupts (by writing to CS register)
while the transfer is already in progress (See commit: e3a2be3030)
This patch also works arround some issues in bcm2835-pinctrl which does not
set the value when setting the GPIO as output - it just sets up output and
(typically) leaves the GPIO as low. When a fix for this is merged then this
gpio_set_value can get removed from bcm2835_spi_setup.

When the CONTINUE bit is set, the interrupt status we are polling to
identify if a transaction has finished can be sporadic. Even though
the transfer has finished, the interrupt status may erroneously
indicate that there is still data in the FIFO. This behaviour causes
random timeouts in large PIO transfers.
Instead of using the CONTINUE bit to control the CS lines, use the SPI
core's CS GPIO handling. Also, now that the CONTINUE bit is not being
used, we can poll for the ALLDONE interrupt to indicate transfer
completion.

Imagination has recommended that the SPFI controller be reset after
each message, regardless of success or failure. Do this in an
unprepare_message() callback.

Setting the transfer length in the TRANSACTION register after the
CONTROL register is programmed causes intermittent timeout issues in
SPFI transfers when using the SPI framework to control the CS GPIO
lines. To avoid this issue, set transfer length before programming
the CONTROL register.

If a driver doesn't implement the master->handle_err() callback and an
SPI transfer fails, the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference:

Make the master->handle_err() callback optional to avoid the crash.
Also fix a spelling mistake in the callback documentation while we're at
it.

Although the SPFI BITCLK divider supports a value of up to 255, only
values up to 128 are usable. This results in a maximum possible bit
clock rate of 1/4th the input clock rate.

Previous algorithm had an outer loop with the values {2,3,5,7} and an
inner loop with {2,4,6,8,16,32,...,32768}, and would pick the first
value over the required scaling value (where the total scale was the two
numbers multiplied).
Since the inner loop went up to 32768 it would always pick a value of 2
for PBR and a much higher than necessary value for BR. The desired
scale factor was being divided by two I believe to compensate for the
much higher scale factors (the divide by two not specified in the
reference manual).
Updated to check all values and find the smallest scale factor possible
without going over the desired clock rate.
