[v6,00/17] spi: axi-spi-engine: add offload support

Message

Not much to say for this revision. The main changes were making the
trigger-sources/#trigger-source-cells properties more generic,
splitting up the spi-offload.h header into consumer/provider/types.h
and adding a DAC driver patch to make use of the TX DMA stream API.

If we think this is good enough to go in, the SPI patches should be
applying fine since this is based on a recent linux-next. But the IIO
patches will need some care. There are dependencies on both the
iio/fixes-togreg and the iio/testing branches as well as a couple of
patches that haven't been applied yet because they are waiting for other
dependencies [1]. So best would be to let Mark pick up the SPI stuff and
create an immutable branch and let Jonathan work out the IIO stuff.

Changes in v6:
- Dropped the "spi: dt-bindings: add trigger-source.yaml" patch. It was
  reworked and merged into dt-schema in
  https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/pull/147
- Adjusted other dt-bindings patches to account for above change.
- Dropped one iio patch that was already applied to iio tree.
- Added a DAC patch to make use of the TX DMA stream API.
- Minor fixes and improvements to other patches based on feedback.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v5:
- Dropped pwm patch. A variant of this patch has been picked up in the
  pwm tree.
- Addressed review comments (see details in individual patches).
- Added some polish, like MAINTAINERS entries and updating ADC docs.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- Dropped #spi-offload-cells and spi-offload properties from DT bindings.
- Made an attempt at a more generic trigger interface instead of using
  clk framework. This also includes a new driver for a generic PWM
  trigger.
- Addressed IIO review comments.
- Added new patches for iio/adc/ad4695 as 2nd user of SPI offload.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Reworked DT bindings to have things physically connected to the SPI
  controller be properties of the SPI controller and use more
  conventional provider/consumer properties.
- Added more SPI APIs for peripheral drivers to use to get auxillary
  offload resources, like triggers.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Individual patches have more details on these changes and earlier revisions too.

As a recap, here is the background and end goal of this series:

The AXI SPI Engine is a SPI controller that has the ability to record a
series of SPI transactions and then play them back using a hardware
trigger. This allows operations to be performed, repeating many times,
without any CPU intervention. This is needed for achieving high data
rates (millions of samples per second) from ADCs and DACs that are
connected via a SPI bus.

The offload hardware interface consists of a trigger input and a data
output for the RX data. These are connected to other hardware external
to the SPI controller.

To record one or more transactions, commands and TX data are written
to memories in the controller (RX buffer is not used since RX data gets
streamed to an external sink). This sequence of transactions can then be
played back when the trigger input is asserted.

This series includes core SPI support along with the first SPI
controller (AXI SPI Engine) and SPI peripheral (AD7944 ADC) that use
them. This enables capturing analog data at 2 million samples per
second.

The hardware setup looks like this:
