I don't quite recall why this was needed and the commit description does
not help. Anyway, this is not needed - at least with current code. I
verified that the DaVinci SPI driver builds correctly with TI_EDMA
switched off. I can send a revert.

BTW, it looks like arch/arm/mach-keystone/Kconfig has a select for
TI_EDMA as well and that needs to be removed too.

Thanks,
