spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Implement .max_message_size method for EOQ mode
When it gets set, End Of Queue Flag halts the DSPI controller and forces
the chip select signal to deassert.

This operating mode is not ideal, but it is used for the DSPI
instantiations where there is no other notification from the controller
that the data in the FIFO has finished transmission. So in practice, it
means that transmitting buffers larger than the FIFO size will yield
unpredictable results.

The only controller that operates in EOQ mode is MCF5441X (Coldfire). I
would say that the way EOQ is used (and documented in the reference
manual, too) on this chip is incorrect, and I would personally migrate
it to TCFQ, but that's notably worse in terms of performance (it can
only use 1 entry of the 16-deep FIFO) and if this limitation didn't
bother any Coldfire DSPI user so far, it's likely that we just need to
throw an error for larger buffers to make sure that callers are aware
their transfers are getting truncated/split.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
