spi: add support for mediatek spi-nor controller
This is a driver for mtk spi-nor controller using spi-mem interface.
The same controller already has limited support provided by mtk-quadspi
driver under spi-nor framework and this new driver is a replacement
for the old one.
Comparing to the old driver, this driver has following advantages:
1. It can handle any full-duplex spi transfer up to 6 bytes, and
this is implemented using generic spi interface.
2. It take account into command opcode properly. The reading routine
in this controller can only use 0x03 or 0x0b as opcode on 1-1-1
transfers, but old driver doesn't implement this properly. This
driver checks supported opcode explicitly and use (1) to perform
unmatched operations.
3. It properly handles SFDP reading. Old driver can't read SFDP
due to the bug mentioned in (2).
4. It can do 1-2-2 and 1-4-4 fast reading on spi-nor. These two ops
requires parsing SFDP, which isn't possible in old driver. And
the old driver is only flagged to support 1-1-2 mode.
5. It takes advantage of the DMA feature in this controller for
long reads and supports IRQ on DMA requests to free cpu cycles
from polling status registers on long DMA reading. It achieves
up to 17.5MB/s reading speed (1-4-4 mode) which is way faster
than the old one. IRQ is implemented as optional to maintain
backward compatibility.
