Mainline patch simply changes return value, but code is different in
v4.19, and poll_transfer will now be avoided when dws->dma_mapped. Is
that a problem?
Actually no.) In that old 4.19 context it's even better to return straight away
no matter what value is returned by the dma_transfer() callback.
This patch changes the return dma_transfer return value from 0 to 1, 
however it was only done in spi-dw-mid.c func mid_spi_dma_transfer().

There is an identical function in spi-dw-mmio.c that needs the same 
treatment, otherwise access to the SPI device becomes erratic and even 
causes kernel to hang. Guess how I found this ;-)

So the following patch is needed as well, at least in 4.9 and 4.19, I 
did not check/test other versions. Mainline does not need this, since 
the code seems to have been refactored to avoid the duplication.
Could you add your signed-off-by tag please? :)
