[PATCH u-boot v2 0/2] aspeed: Add support for MSX4

Add a device tree flag for the FMC_WDT2 to be disabled.
Also add a device tree for MSX4 that uses the aforementioned flag.
The MSX4 is a granite rapids based reference hardware platform module
for the CX8 SuperNIC Switchboard. It uses the AST2600 BMC SoC for
out of band management.

Patch 1 adds support for the aspeed_spi.c driver to disable the
FMC_WDT2 via a device tree flag, aspeed,watchdog-disable.

Example usage is as such:
```
&fmc {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_fmcquad_default>;
aspeed,watchdog-disable;
status = "okay";

};
```

Patch 2 adds the devicetree for this board.

Reference architecture for the msx4:

There was also some discussion of breaking
out espi_init into a seperate function so it can be reused between
different board files. That will be split out into a seperate,
follow-on patch series, since we're no longer creating a new
board file.
