Ah, I think I see.

1. In "struct spi_transfer" the @tx_buf and @rx_buf are documented to
have "dma-safe memory".

2. On ARM64 anyway, I see "ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN" is 128.

So there is no reason to do any special rules to force alignment to
32-bytes because that's already guaranteed. Presumably that means you
can drop a whole pile of code and things will still work fine.
