by default, if U_PAGE is unset lower memory should accessible,
once user wants to access upper memory need to set U_PAGE.
+SPI_FLASH_CONN_DUALPARALLEL:
+ - dual spi/qspi flash memories are connected with a single chipselect
+ line and these two memories are operating parallel with separate buses.
+ - xilinx zynq qspi controller has implemented this feature [1]

+ - two memory flash devices should has same hw part attributes (like size,
+ 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.
