[LINUX RFC v3 1/4] spi: addng support for data stripe feature in core

This patch enables data stripe feature in spi core. This feature is
required to support dual parallel mode of ZynqMP GQSPI controller.

To achieve the same an API SPI_MASTER_DATA_STRIPE is added.
With data stripe enabled,
  - even bytes i.e. 0, 2, 4,... are transmitted on lower data bus
  - odd bytes i.e. 1, 3, 5,.. are transmitted on upper data bus.

To support data stripe; need to  assert both chip selects once.
This is achieved throught API SPI_MASTER_BOTH_CS.
