[PATCH 7/7] sunxi: H6: Enable SPI0 in DT when no eMMC is used

On the Allwinner H6 SoC both the SPI0 and the eMMC device share one pin,
so cannot be used simultaneously. On Linux this is a showstopper, since
only one of them would be able to claim the pin, and the probe order is
somewhat random. The DT consequently disables SPI0 in favour of the more
useful eMMC.

But a comment in the DT actually suggests that this could be reversed by
U-Boot, if no eMMC is actually connected. Let's now implement this:
When we fix up the device tree before booting a kernel, we iterate over
all MMC devices, and check if there is an eMMC device among them. If none
can be found, we enable SPI0 instead, to allow Linux access to the SPI
flash.
Since this fixup is not really universally applicable to all boards,
let's hide it behind a Kconfig option, and enable it only on the one
supported board where this makes sense: the Pine H64.

Please note that the SPI functionality is still disabled in U-Boot
proper, the pinmux clash affects us too: it would always disable the eMMC
and so spoil this algorithm here.
