sf: Add dual memories support - DUAL_PARALLEL
This patch added support for accessing dual memories in parallel connection with single chipselect line from controller. For more info - see doc/SPI/README.dual-flash Signed-off-by: Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki <jaganna@xilinx.com>

+ vendor..etc)
+ - Configurations:
+ Need to enable SEP_BUS[BIT:29],TWO_MEM[BIT:30] on LQSPI_CFG register.
+ - Operation:
+ Even bits, i.e. bit 0, 2, 4 ., of a data word is located in the lower memory
+ and odd bits, i.e. bit 1, 3, 5, ., of a data word is located in the upper memory.

Note: Technically there is only one CS line from the controller, but
zynq qspi controller has an internal hw logic to enable additional CS
when controller is configured for dual memories.
