The spi subsystem has tracing, which is very convenient when debugging
problems. Add tracing for spi-mem too so that accesses that skip the spi
subsystem can still be seen.
The format is roughly based on the existing spi tracing. We don't bother
tracing the op's address because the tracing happens while the memory is
locked, so there can be no confusion about the matching of start and
stop. The conversion of cmd/addr/dummy to an array is directly analogous
to the conversion in the latter half of spi_mem_exec_op.

[1/1] spi: spi-mem: Trace exec_op
commit: 77a58ba7c64ccca20616aa03599766ccb0d1a330
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
Thanks,
Mark
