[PATCH linux 0/3] ASPEED SPI driver support for dual IO mode

Adds support for dual IO SPI mode.  This speeds up SPI accesses, dropping
time to dump an entire 64MB Macronix chip from ~12s to ~6s using:
	dd if=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=64MB count=1 of=/dev/null

The dual IO bit mode should not depend on any board-specific properties
as it uses the same IO lines as single bit mode.  Only issue could be
if a board used a one-way level tranlator or mux on the MOSI line
but that seems unlikely to me.

Tested on Zaius board with AST2500 chip, not tested on AST2400 but I
expect it to work since registers are identical.

Note dropped TODO about quad mode since ASPEED SPI controller does
not support quad mode.
