[PATCH v2 00/15] spi/xilinx: Speed-up

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

This set of patches has been developed after using the core to access a spi
nor flash. The initial performance was not as desired. The following changes
have been done.

-This series of patches add driver support for hardware implemented modes:
LSB_FIRS, LOOP and CS_HIGH.

-There is support for irq less operations.

-The buffer size of the core is detected at probe time, speeding up the
operations.

-Code has been simplify and cleaned

This are the results, before and after the patchet
