Add a binding for the serial flash controller found on VIA/WonderMedia
SoCs, which provides semi-transparent access to SPI NOR chips by
mapping their contents to the physical CPU address space.

+title: VIA/WonderMedia serial flash controller
+
+description:
+ This controller is used on VIA/WonderMedia SoCs such as VIA VT8500,
+ WonderMedia WM8850 and similar. It provides a semi-transparent interface
+ for reading and writing SPI NOR chip contents via a physical memory map,
+ abstracting away all SPI communication, while also providing a direct
+ mechanism for issuing "programmable commands" to the underlying SPI chip
