This patch adds dummy_cycles entry in the spi_transfer structure.
len field in the transfer structure contains dummy bytes along with
actual data bytes, controllers which requires dummy bytes use len
field and simply Ignore the dummy_cycles field. Controllers which
expects dummy cycles won't work directly by using len field because
host driver doesn't know that len field of a particular transfer
includes dummy bytes or not (and also number of dummy bytes included
in len field). In such cases host driver use this dummy_cycles field
to identify the number of dummy cycles and based on that it will send
the required number of dummy cycles.
