[PATCH v4 0/2] spi: ma35d1-qspi: Add Nuvoton MA35D1 QSPI controller

Add devicetree binding and SPI controller driver support for the Quad SPI
controller found in Nuvoton MA35D1 SoCs.
The controller provides two native chip selects and supports standard SPI
and spi-mem operations using single, dual and quad bus widths.
This initial implementation uses 8-bit PIO transfers and supports
per-operation clock configuration, clock and reset handling, and direct
execution of SPI memory operations. DMA and active-high chip select support
are intentionally left out of the initial driver.
Changes in v4:
* Added minimum 1 and default 2 constraints for num-cs in the devicetree
binding.
* Made the driver read num-cs and fall back to two chip selects when the
property is absent.
* Dropped SPI_CS_HIGH support from the initial driver.
* Kept separate chip-select helpers for the SPI core and direct spi-mem
paths because their boolean arguments have different semantics.
* Protected SSCTL register read-modify-write operations with a spinlock.
* Limited spi-mem operations and individual SPI transfers to 4 KiB.
* Limited complete SPI messages to 8 KiB.
* Restricted the initial driver to 8-bit words.
* Added defensive transfer-size validation to keep the PIO polling path
bounded.
* Kept bidirectional data pins in input mode during dual and quad dummy
transfers in the generic spi-mem fallback path.
* Treated zero tx_nbits and rx_nbits values as single-lane transfers in
the generic SPI path.
Changes in v3:
* Fixed the DCO mismatch by using a consistent author and Signed-off-by
address.
* Added spi_controller_mem_caps and enabled per-operation frequency
handling for spi-mem operations.
* Added a short delay after requesting FIFO reset before polling reset
completion.
* Documented that the controller generates one RX FIFO entry for each TX
word in single, dual-output and quad-output modes.
* Added the missing linux/delay.h include.
* Removed unused register bit definitions.
Changes in v2:
* Updated patch subject lines to follow SPI subsystem style.
* Added a commit message to the devicetree binding patch.
* Added ARCH_MA35 || COMPILE_TEST dependency to Kconfig.
* Expanded the Kconfig help text.
* Converted the driver file header to C++-style comments.
* Added reset control handling.
* Added the resets property to the binding.
* Added a num-cs constraint to the binding.
* Removed the flash child node from the binding example.
* Used op->max_freq for spi-mem operations.
* Split low-level chip-select register handling from the SPI core callback.
* Limited spi-mem command opcode length to one byte.
* Forced spi-mem operations to use 8-bit words.
* Avoided driving bidirectional data pins during dummy cycles.
* Drained RX FIFO entries during transmit-only transfers.
* Rejected invalid chip-select numbers.
* Rejected unsupported dual and quad full-duplex generic SPI transfers.
* Fixed checkpatch style issues.
