spi: Only defer to thread for cleanup when needed
Currently we always defer idling of controllers to the SPI thread, the goal
being to ensure that we're doing teardown that's not suitable for atomic
context in an appropriate context and to try to batch up more expensive
teardown operations when the system is under higher load, allowing more
work to be started before the SPI thread is scheduled. However when the
controller does not require any substantial work to idle there is no need
to do this, we can instead save the context switch and immediately mark
the controller as idle. This is particularly useful for systems where there
is frequent but not constant activity.

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.
