This series adds support for Xilinx qspi parallel and stacked memeories.

In parallel mode, the current implementation assumes that a maximum of
two flashes are connected. The QSPI controller splits the data evenly
between both the flashes so, both the flashes that are connected in
parallel mode should be identical.
During each operation SPI-NOR sets 0th bit for CS0 & 1st bit for CS1 in
nor->flags.

In stacked mode the current implementation assumes that a maximum of two
flashes are connected and both the flashes are of same make but can
differ in sizes. So, except the sizes all other flash parameters of both
the flashes are identical

Spi-nor will pass on the appropriate flash select flag to low level
driver, and it will select pass all the data to that particular flash.

Write operation in parallel mode are performed in page size * 2 chunks as
each write operation results in writing both the flashes. For doubling
the address space each operation is performed at addr/2 flash offset,
where addr is the address specified by the user.

Similarly for read and erase operations it will read from both flashes,
so size and offset are divided by 2 and send to flash.

I put this to CI and I see a lot of issue that's why v2 is definitely required 
but would be good if someone can review it from high level point of view.

This set is a bit hard to go. We need to Sync the Linux SPI-NOR tree
and let Linux approve the parallel and stacked otherwise it is very
difficult to maintain.

Linux thread is here and it is pretty close to be merged.

DT binding is already approved but have no clue how big effort is to synchronize 
it. When was it synchronized last time?

It wasn't. U-Boot spinor has its own and makes changes accordingly. It
would be better to sync the Linux. This is what I'm referring to here.

Wasn't this the style which barebox guys wanted to do long time ago in U-Boot 
and the reason why barebox was born?
I don't think that this can happen over night and also I don't think make sense 
to pretty much close spi framework for new changes till this happen.
Tom: What do you think?

Don't understand barebox theory here. I'm talking about code
maintenance in u-boot spinor becoming meaningful if the core area gets
synced with Linux.

Is anyone actively working on that? Under the assumption that no one is,
I really don't want to block all progress in this subsystem until a new
person steps up to start reworking everything.
