Add support for octal mode IO data transfer.
Micron flash, mt35xu512aba, supports octal mode data transfer and
NXP FlexSPI controller supports 8 data lines for data transfer (Rx/Tx).

Patch series
* Add parsing logic for m25p80.c device file.
* Add opcodes for octal I/O commands in spi-nor framework, Read and Write proto for (1-1-8/1-8-8) mode.
Opcodes are added as per octal data IO commands required for mt35xu512aba flash.
* Add mode bit required for octal mode in nxp-fspi driver [1].
* Define binding property 'spi-rx/tx-bus-width' for LX2160ARDB target [1].

Tested on LX2160ARDB target with nxp-fspi driver, below are
Read performance number of 1-1-1 and 1-1-8 read protocol.
