Various documentation updates for the SPI infrastructure, to clarify things
that may not have been clear, to cope with lack of editing, and fix
omissions.
Also, plug SPI into the kernel-api DocBook template, and fix all the
resulting glitches in document generation.

The spi_register_driver() sets the bus_type field of the spi_driver being
registered, so there is no need to have it set in the driver itself.

Add wrappers for getting and setting the driver data using spi_device
instead of using dev_{get|set}_drvdata with &spi->dev, to mirror the
platform_{get|set}_drvdata.

Remove many duplicated words under Documentation/ and do other small
cleanups.
Examples:
"and and" --> "and"
"in in" --> "in"
"the the" --> "the"
"the the" --> "to the"
...

We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.
This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc.
It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention
this stuff.

This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree:
- spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them
- quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew
- quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash()
- minor doc tweaks

This includes various updates to the SPI core:
- Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths.
- The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers
from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts.
- Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later.
- Docs say more about memory management. Highlights the use of DMA-safe
i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata.
- Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer;
this is only one of the possible memory management policies.
Nothing to break code that already works.

This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:
* There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint
of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments
were updated to match.
* spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match,
spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().
* States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
for all controller drivers.
* Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
clarifies some existing kerneldoc,
And a few small cleanups.

This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).
- It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a
mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :)
- The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)
- This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there
are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
mentions of other drivers in development.
- No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare.
Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:
- One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
- The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
- Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init
logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
- Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
who've helped nudge this framework into existence.
As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.

Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by
reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.
