[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: spi: add spi-rx-bus-channels peripheral property

[David Lechner <dlechner@baylibre.com>]

This adds a new spi-rx-bus-channels property to the generic spi
peripheral property bindings. This property is used to describe
devices that have parallel data output channels.

This property is different from spi-rx-bus-width in that the latter
means that we are reading multiple bits of a single word at one time
while the former means that we are reading single bits of multiple words
at the same time.

The rest of this series is ready to merge, so just looking for an ack from
Mark on this one.

+      the SPI bus is receiving one bit each of N different words at the same
+      time whereas a value M for spi-rx-bus-width means that the bus is
+      receiving M bits of a single word at the same time. It is also possible to
+      use both properties at the same time, meaning the bus is receiving M bits
+      of N different words at the same time.
