[PATCH V2 3/6] spi: bcm2835: added comment about different bus behaviour of DMA mode

[kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org]

From: Martin Sperl <kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org>

The DMA mode behaves slightly different than polling or interrupt driven
mode, so just document the fact

Signed-off-by: Martin Sperl <kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org>

Changelog:
  V1 -> V2: applied feedback by Stefan Wahren
            new in V2
