spi: dw: Add memory operations support

Aside from the synchronous Tx-Rx mode, which has been utilized to create
the normal SPI transfers in the framework of the DW SSI driver, DW SPI
controller supports Tx-only and EEPROM-read modes. The former one just
enables the controller to transmit all the data from the Tx FIFO ignoring
anything retrieved from the MISO lane. The later mode is so called
write-then-read operation: DW SPI controller first pushes out all the data
from the Tx FIFO, after that it'll automatically receive as much data as
has been specified by means of the CTRLR1 register. Both of those modes
can be used to implement the memory operations supported by the SPI-memory
subsystem.

The memory operation implementation is pretty much straightforward, except
a few peculiarities we have had to take into account to make things
working. Since DW SPI controller doesn't provide a way to directly set and
clear the native CS lane level, but instead automatically de-asserts it
when a transfer going on, we have to make sure the Tx FIFO isn't empty
during entire Tx procedure. In addition we also need to read data from the
Rx FIFO as fast as possible to prevent it' overflow with automatically
fetched incoming traffic. The denoted peculiarities get to cause even more
problems if DW SSI controller is equipped with relatively small FIFO and
is connected to a relatively slow system bus (APB) (with respect to the
SPI bus speed). In order to workaround the problems for as much as it's
possible, the memory operation execution procedure collects all the Tx
data into a single buffer and disables the local IRQs to speed the
write-then-optionally-read method up.

Note the provided memory operations are utilized by default only if
a glue driver hasn't provided a custom version of ones and this is not
a DW APB SSI controller with fixed automatic CS toggle functionality.
