Hi again,
just found the first offending commit:

commit eff0275e5253604429aedc42b008c5fcaa6cc597
Date:   Wed Oct 31 11:57:06 2018 +0100

    spi: rockchip: simplify use_dma logic
   =20
    We only need to know if we're using dma when setting
    up the transfer, so just use a local variable for
    that.

It was mainlined in Linux v5.0.
