I'll simply repeat the comments I already made downstream:

Most commit messages aren't written as bullet points. This might be
better written as:

----------
Convert the Tegra114 SPI driver to support the standard DMA device-tree
bindings.

Note that DMA mode is optional; if the DT properties required to support
DMA are missing, then the driver will fall back to pure CPU operation.
----------

This should reference dma.txt which defines the DMA DT bindings. How about:

----------
Optional properties:
- dmas, dma-names : The DMA channel to use for DMA-mode operation. See
  dma.txt for the definition of these properties. A single entry named
  "rx-tx" must be specified.
