[PATCH v1 2/2] rockchip: rock-pi-4-rk3399: Enable booting from SPI flash

Some variants of the ROCK Pi 4 series contain an SPI flash chip, which can
be booted from. This patch enables support in U-Boot for building the
image for the SPI flash, support for booting U-Boot from the SPI flash
chip and support in U-Boot for accessing the SPI flash using `sf` commands.

Not all variants (e.g. ROCK Pi 4B, ROCK 4 Model C Plus, ROCK 4SE) come
populated with an SPI flash chip, but have the footprint on the board so
a user could solder their own to the board. With this patchset applied,
these board variants without an SPI flash chip still boot from MMC.

I have enabled support for both Winbond and XTX SPI flash devices since
different hardware variants have different devices populated:

 - `rockpi4_v13_sch_20181112.pdf` contains a Winbond part `W25Q64FWZPIG`
 - `rockpi4_v14_sch_20210114.pdf` contains an XTX part `XT25F32BWOIGT`

The ROCK Pi 4 I have is marked as "ROCK PI 4 v1.48" and contains an SPI
flash chip from XTX:

    => sf probe
    SF: Detected xt25f32 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 4 MiB

In the interest of supporting all board variants and not regressing
existing users who boot from MMC, I have enabled support for booting from
both SPI flash chip variants in the defconfig and left the environment
storage location as MMC to not break existing users who have the
environment stored on MMC.

I have also enabled GigaDevice SPI flash chip support, since without it
U-Boot (unexplainably) fails to load with an error:

    U-Boot SPL 2024.04-rc3-00002-g06b486900e2 (Mar 02 2024 - 13:20:45 +0000)
    Trying to boot from SPI
    load_simple_fit: Skip load 'atf-5': image size is 0!
    initcall failed at call 000000000029beec (err=-11: Try again)
    ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

Building with `CONFIG_SPL_FIT_SIGNATURE=y` causes an error when booting
from SPI flash, so I disabled it:

    U-Boot 2024.04-rc3-00010-g2e7974a13b9 (Mar 02 2024 - 14:00:17 +0000)

    ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
