[PATCH v8 3/3] fpga: Add support for Lattice iCE40 FPGAs

The Lattice iCE40 is a family of FPGAs with a minimalistic architecture
and very regular structure, designed for low-cost, high-volume consumer
and system applications.

This patch adds support to the FPGA manager for configuring the SRAM of
iCE40LM, iCE40LP, iCE40HX, iCE40 Ultra, iCE40 UltraLite and iCE40
UltraPlus devices, through slave SPI.

The iCE40 family is notable because it is the first FPGA family to have
complete reverse engineered bit-stream documentation for the iCE40LP and
iCE40HX devices. Furthermore, there is now a Free Software Verilog
synthesis tool-chain: the "IceStorm" tool-chain.

This project is the work of Clifford Wolf, who is the maintainer of
Yosys Verilog RTL synthesis framework, and Mathias Lasser, with notable
contributions from "Cotton Seed", the main author of "arachne-pnr"; a
place-and-route tool for iCE40 FPGAs.

Having a Free Software synthesis tool-chain offers interesting
opportunities for embedded devices that are able reconfigure themselves
with open firmware that is generated on the device itself. For example
a mobile device might have an application processor with an iCE40 FPGA
attached, which implements slave devices, or through which the processor
communicates with other devices through the FPGA fabric.

A kernel driver for the iCE40 is useful, because in some cases, the FPGA
may need to be configured before other devices can be accessed.

An example of such a device is the icoBoard; a RaspberryPI HAT which
features an iCE40HX8K with a 1 or 8 MBit SRAM and ports for
Digilent-compatible PMOD modules. A PMOD module may contain a device
with which the kernel communicates, via the FPGA.
