[RFC PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: spi: Update stacked and parallel bindings

For implementing the proposed solution the current 'stacked-memories' &
'parallel-memories' bindings need to be updated as follow.

stacked-memories binding changes:
- Each flash will have its own flash node. This approach allows flashes of
  different makes and sizes to be stacked together, as each flash will be
  probed individually.
- Each of the flash node will have its own “reg” property that will contain
  its physical CS.
- Remove the size information from the bindings as it can be retrived
  drirectly from the flash.
- The stacked-memories DT bindings will contain the phandles of the flash
  nodes connected in stacked mode.

The new layer will update the mtd->size and other mtd_info parameters after
both the flashes are probed and will call mtd_device_register with the
combined information.

                compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"
                reg = <0x00>;
                stacked-memories = <&flash at 0 &flash at 1>;
                spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
                ...
                        partitions {
                        compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                                concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>;
                                flash0_partition: partition at 0 {
                                        label = "part0_0";
                                        reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
                                }
                        }
        }
        flash at 1 {
                compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"
                reg = <0x01>;
                stacked-memories = <&flash at 0 &flash at 1>;
                spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
                ...
                        partitions {
                        compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                                concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>;
                                flash1_partition: partition at 0 {
                                        label = "part0_1";
                                        reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
                                }
                        }
        }

}

parallel-memories binding changes:
- Remove the size information from the bindings and change the type to
  boolen.
- Each flash connected in parallel mode should be identical and will have
  one flash node for both the flash devices.
- The “reg” prop will contain the physical CS number for both the connected
  flashes.

The new layer will double the mtd-> size and register it with the mtd layer.

spi at 1 {
        ...
        flash at 3 {
                compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"
                reg = <0x00 0x01>;
                paralle-memories ;
                spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
                ...
                        partitions {
                        compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                                flash0_partition: partition at 0 {
                                        label = "part0_0";
                                        reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
                                }
                        }
        }
}
