The Allwinner H5 is very close to the H3 SoC, but has ARMv8 cores.
To allow sharing the clocks, GPIO and driver code easily, create an
architecture agnostic MACH_SUNXI_H3_H5 Kconfig symbol.
Rename the existing symbol to MACH_SUNXI_H3_H5 where code is shared and
let it be selected by a new shared Kconfig option.

Allwinner devices support SPI flash as one of the possible
bootable media type. The SPI flash chip needs to be connected
to SPI0 pins (port C) to make this work. More information is
available at:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash
This patch adds the initial support for booting from SPI flash.
The existing SPI frameworks are not used in order to reduce the
SPL code size. Right now the SPL size grows by ~370 bytes when
CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option is enabled.
While there are no popular Allwinner devices with SPI flash at
the moment, testing can be done using a SPI flash module (it
can be bought for ~2$ on ebay) and jumper wires with the boards,
which expose relevant pins on the expansion header. The SPI flash
chips themselves are very cheap (some prices are even listed as
low as 4 cents) and should not cost much if somebody decides to
design a development board with an SPI flash chip soldered on
the PCB.
Another nice feature of the SPI flash is that it can be safely
accessed in a device-independent way (since we know that the
boot ROM is already probing these pins during the boot time).
And if, for example, Olimex boards opted to use SPI flash instead
of EEPROM, then they would have been able to have U-Boot installed
in the SPI flash now and boot the rest of the system from the SATA
hard drive. Hopefully we may see new interesting Allwinner based
development boards in the future, now that the software support
for the SPI flash is in a better shape :-)
Testing can be done by enabling the CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option
in a board defconfig, then building U-Boot and finally flashing
the resulting u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary over USB OTG with
a help of the sunxi-fel tool:
sunxi-fel spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
The device needs to be switched into FEL (USB recovery) mode first.
The most suitable boards for testing are Orange Pi PC and Pine64.
Because these boards are cheap, have no built-in NAND/eMMC and
expose SPI0 pins on the Raspberry Pi compatible expansion header.
The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board also can be used.

Make the support for 4K subpage I/O on a SPI NOR flash configurable.
A board which requires the SPI NOR to be accessed in larger 32KiB
or 64KiB pages can disable the 4K subpage support, but by default,
the support for 4K subpage I/O is enabled. The functionality of this
option is the same as CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS in Linux.
This is extremely useful in case one uses UBI on a SPI NOR flash.
UBI needs at least 15k EBs and can not work on a flash which uses
4k ones, so disabling the support for 4k subpages lets UBI work on
such flash.

CONFIG_SPI does not exist in Kconfig in the first place, so the
dependency "depends on DM && SPI" is never met, i.e., DM_SPI_FLASH
can never be enabled (unless you ignore the dependency in an illegal
way. See below.)
Actually, some defconfigs such as socfpga_*_defconfig define
CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH=y, but it never appears in the .config file
because of this wrong dependency.
On the other hand, all the Tegra boards enable DM_SPI_FLASH because
config DM_SPI_FLASH
default y
silently ignores the dependency.
Unfortunately, this style of CONFIG definition is abused everywhere
in U-Boot, so we easily miss such a wrong dependency.
