The IP's DMA capabilities are described in the SoC dtsi, to spare
users duplicating the DMA bindings in their board device tree. Users
that don't want to use DMA, have to overwrite the DMA bindings in
their board device tree. An example is:
commit ddcdaeb88242 ("ARM: dts: at91: sama5d2: Add DMA bindings for the SPI and UART flx4 functions")

When the DMA bindings are overwritten, one could see on the console:
atmel_spi fc018400.spi: error -ENODEV: No TX DMA channel, DMA is disabled
atmel_spi fc018400.spi: Atmel SPI Controller using PIO only

Choosing to not use DMA is not a reason to print an error message.
More, the user is already informed when PIO is used: "Atmel SPI Controller
using PIO only". Downgrade to dev_dbg when dma_request_chan() fails.

[1/1] spi: atmel: Downgrade to dev_dbg when dma_request_chan() fails
      commit: 23fc86eb2f30fc975e5705bb1a2cf92956d2edd7

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
