[RFC PATCH 00/13] spi: dw: Add support for XIP mode

[Sean Anderson <seanga2@gmail.com>]

This adds support for memory-mapped ("DIRMAP") reads (called XIP by the
datasheet). In theory, these have better performance than regular reads. In
practice, the CPU is already fast enough to max out the performance of this
peripheral.

The real end-goal is to be able to boot a XIP kernel. This SoC has just barely
enough SRAM to boot Linux, and using a XIP kernel would decrease the memory
pressure to something tolerable. It would also probably absolutely *tank* the
performance, since not only is SPI flash ~8x slower than regular memory, there
is no cache to mitigate that latency. So it remains to be seen whether this is
worth it at all.

This series is RFC because it currently reads all 1s on one board I have. On the
other board I have, it reads and writes fine. I will try and investigate this,
but I expect any changes to occur in "spi: dw: Add support for DIRMAP".
