I have been spending time on this (admittedly on and off) since I wrote that email and have broken down the work into ~20 patches so far. Starting to scratch the DMA related changes right now. So, I guess I am somewhere midway. I pushed a branch containing the work so far here: http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-davinci.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/davinci-spi-rewrite This isn't tested or submit-worthy yet. I was hoping to break down the complete work, test it and get reviewed by Brian. Also, the final work may differ from Brian's work slightly as I did some improvements while I was the fat patch breaking down. The breakdown wasn't mechanical because Brian's improvements are very intertwined and if I just simply 'selected hunks' it wouldn't make for a very reviewable patch series. Have you also been parallely working on this? If not, I hope you can start from what I have already completed. I will continue to work on it anyway. This way hopefully the patch series should be ready sooner.
