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".
