Changes from v3:
 - Added "rockchip_sfc_adjust_op_work()" function from proposed Linux
   driver to fix potential issue on hardware. Note I never noticed
   this issue while testing, so I cannot test if it fixed any specific
   issue for me.
 - Updated of-compatible string back to "rockchip,sfc" to match what
   is currently proposed for upstream driver. The hardware itself
   has multiple versions but a register is present in the hardware that
   is read by the driver to set version specific functionality.
 - Updated px30.dtsi and rk3266-odroid-go2.dts device-trees so that
   sfc nodes match what is in upstream.

Changes from v2:
 - Resending due to glitch with patch file truncating final two lines
   on patch 1/5 and incorrect patch version number on patch 5/5.

Changes from v1:
 - Reworked code to utilize spi-mem framework, and based it closely
   off of work in progress code for mainline Linux.
 - Removed DMA, as it didn't offer much performance benefit for
   booting (in my test cases), added complexity to the code, and
   interfered with A-TF.
 - Updated the names of the bindings to match the work in progress
   Linux code.
 - Moved alias to u-boot specific device-tree for Odroid Go Advance.
   Alias is updated with the spi0 node pointing to the SFC to
   help the sf command as well as facilitate booting from the SFC.
 - Note 2 below no longer applies, as rebasing this off of upstream
   code should allow the device to work for NAND, and by utilizing
   the spi-mem framework it no longer has to extract the parameters
   from the dm_spi_ops.xfer.

Known Issues Remaining with this Patch Series:

1) I don't know the best way to upstream the XTX25F128B flash chip.
This chip should use a continuation code for the manufacturer ID,
however I cannot seem to find any way to actually read the continuation
code as one may not be present. There is a risk of this driver, used
as-is, to collide with another chip which has the same manufacturer ID
with a different continuation code.

Additionally, it might be worth mentioning but I noticed the Rockchip
BROM will only boot the TPL/SPL off of the SFC if I write it to address
0x10000. This is not documented and different than the address looked
at for SD card booting (512 * 64 = 0x8000 for SD Card booting). Also,
like the SD card driver I can confirm that if DMA is enabled at the SPL
stage A-TF seems to fail silently, then when Linux loads it hangs. FIFO
mode was removed from the driver to simplify it and for this reason.

Tested: Read (works)
	Write (works)
	Erase (works)
	SPL Read (works if you edit the u-boot,spl-boot-order)
