spi: pxa2xx: Set controller->max_transfer_size in dma mode



In DMA mode we have a maximum transfer size, past that the driver
falls back to PIO (see the check at the top of pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one).
Falling back to PIO for big transfers defeats the point of a dma engine,
hence set the max transfer size to inform spi clients that they need
to do something smarter.

This was uncovered by the drm_mipi_dbi spi panel code, which does
large spi transfers, but stopped splitting them after:

    drm/tinydrm: Remove tinydrm_spi_max_transfer_size()

After this commit the code relied on the spi core to split transfers
into max dma-able blocks, which also papered over the PIO fallback issue.

Fix this by setting the overall max transfer size to the DMA limit,
but only when the controller runs in DMA mode.
