In addition to providing direct access to SPI bus, some spi controller
hardwares (like ti-qspi) provide special memory mapped port
to accesses SPI flash devices in order to increase read performance.
This means the controller can automatically send the SPI signals
required to read data from the SPI flash device.
For this, spi controller needs to know flash specific information like
read command to use, dummy bytes and address width. Once these settings
are populated in hardware registers, any read accesses to flash's memory
map region(SoC specific) through memcpy (or mem-to mem DMA copy) will be
handled by controller hardware. The hardware will automatically generate
SPI signals required to read data from flash and present it to CPU/DMA.

Introduce spi_mtd_mmap_read() interface to support memory mapped read
over SPI flash devices. SPI master drivers can implement this callback to
support memory mapped read interfaces. m25p80 flash driver and other
flash drivers can call this to request memory mapped read. The interface
should only be used MTD flashes and cannot be used with other SPI devices.

Any reason to not use the bus_lock_mutex here? The bus is busy as much
during mmap transfer as it is during any other transfer.

If bus_lock_mutex is used, it will unnecessarily block queueing of new
messages when __spi_pump_messages() is calling transfer_one_message()
even in the case where there is no mmap mode. Hence, I chose to add new
mutex. But looks like it doesn't matter much as __spi_sync() anyways
blocks till message is transferred. I will drop the new mutex and use
bus_lock_mutex in v3. Thanks!

It's a bit worrying that this doesn't sync with the message queue except
via the mutex: this means that we might be out of order with respect to
any asynchronous transfers that are happening on the device.  I'm not
sure that this is a practical problem, though there is some risk of
unfair scheduling that would have to be under extreme load and it might
make sense to prioritise reads anyway.

Since mmap interface is used only by mtd flash drivers and since almost
all mtd flash devices use synchronous transfers (spi_sync()), IMO, there
wont be out of order problem wrt mtd flashes.
But mmap read might delay transfers queued for non mtd flash devices. It
is difficult to wait for all transfers already queued to be pumped out
by __spi_pump_messages() and then do the mmap transfer. Do you have any
thoughts on how to sync with message queue?

Like I say I think it probably doesn't matter.  The main issue would be
with other devices sharing the bus with a flash chip.
