[PATCH v5 08/10] spi: expose master transfer size limitation.

On some SPI controllers it is not feasible to transfer arbitrary amount
of data at once.
When the limit on transfer size is a few kilobytes at least it makes
sense to use the SPI hardware rather than reverting to gpio driver.
The protocol drivers need a way to check that they do not sent overly
long messages, though.
