This library code is intended to help folk get some functional and correct
drivers quickly ... with "chained DMA" support being explicitly a non-goal.
If you want a top performing driver, you'd go about it differently ... you
would handle all the transfers directly, and not use library code like this.
Every SOC seems to have its own preferred way to do DMA chaining, so likely
the driver would just implement the three spi_master methods directly and
map most spi_message objects into single SOC-specific DMA chains.
