9e115ace35 drivers/mtd/nvmxip: introduce QSPI XIP driver
add nvmxip_qspi driver under UCLASS_NVMXIP

The device associated with this driver is the parent of the blk#<id> device
nvmxip_qspi can be reused by other platforms. If the platform
has custom settings to apply before using the flash, then the platform
can provide its own parent driver belonging to UCLASS_NVMXIP and reuse
nvmxip-blk driver. The custom driver can be implemented like nvmxip_qspi in
addition to the platform custom settings.

Platforms can use multiple NVM XIP devices at the same time by defining a
DT node for each one of them.

For more details please refer to doc/develop/driver-model/nvmxip_qspi.rst

f37af2760e drivers/mtd/nvmxip: introduce NVM XIP block storage emulation
add block storage emulation for NVM XIP flash devices

Some paltforms such as Corstone-1000 need to see NVM XIP raw flash
as a block storage device with read only capability.

Here NVM flash devices are devices with addressable
memory (e.g: QSPI NOR flash).

The implementation is generic and can be used by different platforms.

Two drivers are provided as follows.

  nvmxip-blk :

    a generic block driver allowing to read from the XIP flash

  nvmxip Uclass driver :

        When a device is described in the DT and associated with
        UCLASS_NVMXIP, the Uclass creates a block device and binds it with
	 the nvmxip-blk.

Platforms can use multiple NVM XIP devices at the same time by defining a
DT node for each one of them.
