spi: add offload TX/RX streaming APIs

Browse source 
Most configuration of SPI offloads is handled opaquely using the offload
pointer that is passed to the various offload functions. However, there
are some offload features that need to be controlled on a per transfer
basis.

This patch adds a flag field to struct spi_transfer to allow specifying
such features. The first feature to be added is the ability to stream
data to/from a hardware sink/source rather than using a tx or rx buffer.
Additional flags can be added in the future as needed.

A flags field is also added to the offload struct for providers to
indicate which flags are supported. This allows for generic checking of
offload capabilities during __spi_validate() so that each offload
provider doesn't have to implement their own validation.

As a first users of this streaming capability, getter functions are
added to get a DMA channel that is directly connected to the offload.
Peripheral drivers will use this to get a DMA channel and configure it
to suit their needs.
