Other transfer mode use:

if ((dspi->cs_change) && (!dspi->len))                                  
                                                           
        dspi_pushr &= ~SPI_PUSHR_CONT;

which indicates that they only clear SPI_PUSHR_CONT at the very end of a
transfer... The DMA code currently deselects after every DMA transfer if
dspi->cs_change is set.

Maybe we should use the helper dspi_data_to_pushr to fill the DMA buffer
and _clear_ SPI_PUSHR_CONT if necessary like the other transfer modes
do... Then we can use the for loop to fill the complete buffer and get
rid of some code dupplication.

I see that dspi_data_to_pushr does move len too, which we did not in the
DMA case. dspi->len gets incremented only on successful DMA transfer in
dspi_dma_xfer. However, I wonder if that is not even a bug: We increment
dspi->tx always, but len only on success. This makes len go off sync
with regards to the tx pointer which does not help anybody. So lets get
rid of the update code in dspi_dma_xfer
