[PATCH v3 0/3] Support UEFI SPI I/O protocol

These patches add support for the UEFI SPI I/O protocol defined in the
UEFI Platform Initialization (PI) Specification, Version 1.7 Errata A
(April 2020). This allows a UEFI application to interact with devices
on the SPI bus.
This support is initially intended to be used to communicate with SPI
devices from "pre-boot" UEFI applications which perform setup before
the main OS is loaded. Other use cases may also be supported, however
this is not intended to be a replacement for UEFI capsule updates.
The "pre-boot" UEFI application which we are currently developing will
interact with a Micron Authenta[1] flash device, sending vendor-specific
commands over the SPI bus to make use of Authenta security features, to
verify flash integrity and to generate ephemeral keys based on the flash
contents.
The code here is self-contained and easy to enable/disable at compile
time. Compilation testing with am335x_evm_defconfig shows that the size
of u-boot.img increases by less than 2kB when CONFIG_EFI_SPI_PROTOCOL
is enabled.

Changes since v2:
* Added description to efi_spi_protocol.h.
* Moved definition of EFI_SPI_CONFIGURATION_GUID to efi_api.h and
added it to the list in lib/uuid.c.
* Fixed UEFI GUID byte order in test.dts and in debug output.
* Use log_debug() instead of printf() for debug output.
* Add test cases to confirm that efi_legacy_spi_controller_protocol
functions return EFI_UNSUPPORTED (as they are not currently
implemented)
Changes since v1:
* Skip emulated SPI peripherals. These appear as duplicates within the
list of devices on the bus when using the sandbox SPI drivers.
* Make most printf statements debug only.
* Add efi_seltest unit test.
* Do not enable config EFI_SPI_PROTOCOL by default.
* Mark functions with EFIAPI where necessary.
* Handle debug_transaction argument to efi_spi_io_transaction().
* Handle a value of zero for target->max_read_size &
target->max_write_size.
* Probe inactive SPI devices when initializing the EFI SPI protocol to
ensure that dev_get_parent_priv() returns valid data and the exported
devices are ready to use.
