spi/ep93xx: add DMA support
This patch adds DMA support for the EP93xx SPI driver. By default the DMA is not enabled but it can be enabled by setting ep93xx_spi_info.use_dma to true in board configuration file. Note that the SPI driver still uses PIO for small transfers (<= 8 bytes) for performance reasons.

+The driver can use DMA for the transfers also. In this case ts72xx_spi_info
+becomes:
+
+static struct ep93xx_spi_info ts72xx_spi_info = {
+ .num_chipselect = ARRAY_SIZE(ts72xx_spi_devices),
+ .use_dma = true;
+};
+
+Note that CONFIG_EP93XX_DMA should be enabled as well.
