Add support for octal mode IO data transfer.
Micron flash, mt35xu512aba, supports octal mode data transfer and
NXP FlexSPI controller supports 8 data lines for data transfer (Rx/Tx).

Patch series 
* Add support for octal mode flags and parsing of same in spi driver.
* Add octal data communication commands required for mt35xu512aba [1] flash.
* Add support for Read and Write proto for (1-1-8/1-8-8) mode.
* Add mode bit required for octal mode in nxp-fspi driver [2].
* Define binding property 'spi-rx/tx-bus-width' for LX2160ARDB target [2].

Tested on LX2160ARDB target with nxp-fspi driver, below are
Read performance number of 1-1-1 and 1-1-8 read protocol.

This is a bit confusing and difficult to follow. I suggest to order
patches such that spi-nor layer changes are at the first, then m25p80
related things, followed by spi-mem (if needed spi) changes and finally
spi-mem controller driver changes.

Thanks for the comment.
Would change the patch order as suggested and break the functionality in small patches as suggested by Boris.
