It was quite difficult to debug without these changes, since turning on
debug statements caused the fifos to over/underflow.

Sure.

Ok. I was generally unsure what log level to default to. README.log
doesn't really make it clear semantically which log levels should be
used.

Ok.

Sure.

Perhaps "Couldn't find or assert reset device configured for SPI"?

Perhaps "SPI: failed to deassert reset (error %d)"?

When should log_content/log_io be used? Here, we only log metadata about
the transfer. I would expect this to be a higher log level than (for
example) the actual log of the content as done in dw_reader/writer. In
addition, I am confused as to when log_io should be used over
log_content. The only clear-cut case I can see is perhaps that replacing
dw_write with something like

static inline void dw_write(struct dw_spi_priv *priv, u32 offset, u32 val)
{
	log_io("%x = %x", offset, val);
	__raw_writel(val, priv->regs + offset);
}

Is log_content intended for higher-level interfaces?
