[LINUX RFC v4 1/4] spi: adding support for data stripe feature in core

[Naga Sureshkumar Relli]

This patch enables data stripe feature in spi core. This feature is
required to support dual parallel mode of ZynqMP GQSPI controller.

To achieve the same an API SPI_MASTER_DATA_STRIPE is added.
With data stripe enabled,
 - even bytes i.e. 0, 2, 4,... are transmitted on lower data bus
 - odd bytes i.e. 1, 3, 5,.. are transmitted on upper data bus.

To support data stripe; need to  assert both chip selects once.
This is achieved through API SPI_MASTER_BOTH_CS.
