Airoha EN7523 snfi controller almost identical to AN7581 one, so the same
driver can be used. The only known difference appears in the very specific
boot conditions, when attached serial console force EN7523 SoC boots
in undocumented (reserved) mode. In this mode dma reading of the flash
works incorrectly.

This patch series:
 * add support of EN7523 SoC
 * add spinand node to en7523 dts (so spinand flash finally becomes usable)
 * updates dt-bindings to mark driver as compatible with en7523
 * disable dma usage to prevent possible data damage if booting in
   reserved mode was detected.

This patch series was a part of a bigger series:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251012121707.2296160-1-mikhail.kshevetskiy@iopsys.eu/

All patches of the bigger series (except these patches) was already accepted
to linux-next. The was no any activity around remaining patches for a long
time, so it's time to send them again.

We found that some serial console may pull TX line to GROUND during board
boot time. Airoha uses TX line as one of it's BOOT pins. This will lead
to booting in RESERVED boot mode.

It was found that some flashes operates incorrectly in RESERVED mode.
Micron and Skyhigh flashes are definitely affected by the issue,
Winbond flashes are NOT affected.

Details:
--------
DMA reading of odd pages on affected flashes operates incorrectly. Page
reading offset (start of the page) on hardware level is replaced by 0x10.
Thus results in incorrect data reading. Usage of UBI make things even
worse. Any attempt to access UBI leads to ubi damaging. As result OS loading
becomes impossible.

Non-DMA reading is OK.

This patch detects booting in reserved mode, turn off DMA and print big
fat warning.

nit: no need to add a new-line here:
