[PATCH v2 2/7] dt-bindings: soc: microchip: add a property for system controller flash

The system controller "shares" a SPI flash device with a QSPI controller
in the MSS. This flash is used to store FPGA bitstreams & other
metadata. IAP and Auto Upgrade both write images to this flash that the
System Controller will use to re-program the FPGA.

Add a phandle property signifying which flash device is connected to the
system controller.
