[RESEND][PATCH] SPI: xilinx_spi: Added platform driver and support for DS570

[Andrew Morton]

This appears to be a ppc thing, so let's cc that list.  Let's also cc
the driver's author and other contributors.  Please cc these people on
future versions of the patch also.

Why do we need these?

I'm seeing no reason why these had to be implemented as macros. 
They're ugly, add considerable code bloat and, because they evaluate
their args multiple times they will fail if passed as expression with
side-effects.

I suggest that they be reimplemented as lower-case, uninlined C functions.
