mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Add support for direct access mode
Cadence QSPI controller provides direct access mode through which flash can be accessed in a memory-mapped IO mode. This enables read/write to flash using memcpy*() functions. This mode provides higher throughput for both read/write operations when compared to current indirect mode of operation. This patch therefore adds support to use QSPI in direct mode. If the window reserved in SoC's memory map for MMIO access is less that of flash size(like on most SoCFPGA variants), then the driver falls back to indirect mode of operation. On TI's 66AK2G SoC, with ARM running at 600MHz and QSPI at 96MHz switching to direct mode improves read throughput from 3MB/s to 8MB/s.
