[PATCH v2 3/9] spi: Support multi-bus controllers

From: David Lechner <dlechner at baylibre.com>
Add support for SPI controllers with multiple physical SPI buses.
This is common in the type of controller that can be used with parallel
flash memories, but can be used for general purpose SPI as well.
To indicate support, a controller just needs to set ctlr->num_buses to
something greater than 1. Peripherals indicate which bus they are
connected to via device tree (ACPI support can be added if needed).
In the future, this can be extended to support peripherals that also
have multiple SPI buses to use those buses at the same time by adding
a similar bus flags field to struct spi_transfer.
