[U-Boot] u-boot device model SPI + SPI Flash

[Hoefle Marco]

Hello Michal,
ok I will then stop trying to get SPI working on mainline and watch your commits on 
https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx

We have a custom Artix Board here and I would be happy to test your commits on our hardware.
Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco,

petalinux 2015.4 will be released with SPI DM model. I have just debug
it and it is working fine but it requires some changes in the mainline
to get it work properly. It is not working properly on Microblaze.
I expect there is no problem to use this driver on zynq.

Just give me some time to send all I have in our tree. I will push that
core changes to xilinx git tree soon too.

Thanks,
Michal
