Tried SDMA firmware 4.2. Still broken. No apparent change.

Get 4 cycle pause after each byte.

And crash while/after using DMA. Clearly some sort of memory
corruption going on. Fortunately, it's very reliable that using DMA
almost immediately causes a problem and this is easy to reproduce. I
think that indicates it's either clobbers a lot of RAM, or consistently
manages to hit a very important location for kernel memory allocators.

I've got an idea of where that might be happening that I'm looking
into.

I think it's reasonable to add the dma attributes, but put a check in
the spi-imx driver to disable DMA on imx7d at least.
