[linux-next,v6,5/8] Documentation: mtd: add a DT property to set the number of dummy cycles

Depending on the SPI clock frequency, the Fast Read op code and the
Single/Dual Data Rate mode, the number of dummy cycles can be tuned to
improve transfer speed.
The actual number of dummy cycles is specific for each memory model and is
provided by the manufacturer thanks to the memory datasheet.
