Arnd, this dependency to certain DMA driver looks really bad.

If we go that way, can we split that part to [another] module and make
it dependent to DW_DMAC?

Or shall we introduce a dmaengine type field in the platform data and
dynamically choose proper filter-whatever-function to get the channel?

On some SoCs we have up to 4 masters. It's blurry for me how the SPI
should choose those masters. Currently it works fine, but I suspect
there are [might be] performance issues.

What about AVR32 case? We have to fix drivers as well there.

Yes, this part I like.
