This code has gone through a huge amount of refactoring.

I hadn't looked, but now I see this field is used exactly one
place in the code, in k1_spi_prepare_dma_io().  It's still
needed though.

Here's what I plan to do.  Rather than saving data_reg_addr,
I will simply save base_addr, which is the I/O resource start
address that corresponds to the mapped virtual pointer, "base".

Then in k1_spi_prepare_dma_io() I'll use base_addr + SSP_DATAR.

OK?
