So I did after Claudio suggested the same (and acked the patch).

I'm using this driver on a custom chip that includes ARM926 core. The kernel
version is (currently) 2.6.26. The SPI bus on this chip is the only way to
connect peripherals. That's way we're stuck with this Ethernet interface.
Our on-chip SPI master is the Synopsys DesignWare one. I wrote a driver for
this SPI master. This driver is somewhat usable, but not complete yet. I'm now
in the process of adding DMA support to the driver (PL080) to overcome some
nasty design peculiarities of this SPI master.
Peter Pearse has poster a (incomplete) patch set with a driver for the PL080
DMA controller to the LAKL last week, but I see no push for integrating it
into the mainline. So I doubt there's any great value in this SPI master
driver as of now.
