[RFC] Add ability to multiplex SPI bus

From: Ben Whitten

A chip that I am working on acts as an SPI multiplexer for downstream radios,
this patch adds basic support for adding an SPI mux with DT.

The mux API is modeled on the I2C mux way of doing things with the addition of
being able to override the transfer_one_message. This is due to my mux exposing
the downstream radios through its regmap and not straight on the bus.

This is a first proof of concept and I'm expecting a few revisions, which is
why there is no documentation yet.

Thanks!
