[PATCH] SPI: spi-imx: enable realtime master workqueue

From: Markus Niebel <Markus.Niebel at tq-group.de>
SPI master provides an option to run the SPI workqueue
with realtime prio. This feature is currently used only
by spi-pl022.
Support this feature for spi-imx by parsing an optional
bool value from device tree.
Note: maybe useful for all SPI controllers.
