The Aspeed SMC controllers have a mode (Command mode) in which
accesses to the flash content are no different than doing MMIOs. The
controller generates all the necessary commands to load (or store)
data in memory.
However, accesses are restricted to the segment window assigned the
the flash module by the controller. This window is defined by the
Segment Address Register.

The SPI controller of the AST2400 SoC has less registers. So we can
adjust the size of the memory region holding the registers depending
on the controller type. We can also remove the guest_error logging
which is useless as the range of the region is strict enough.

This is getting difficult to read. Also add a 'has_dma' field for each
controller type.

This will ease the definition of the new controllers for the AST2500
SoC and also ease the support of the segment registers, which provide
a way to reconfigure the mapping window of each slave.

Each controller on the ast2400 has a memory range on which it maps its
flash module slaves. Each slave is assigned a memory segment for its
mapping that can be changed at bootime with the Segment Address
Register. This is not supported in the current implementation so we
are using the defaults provided by the specs.
Each SPI flash slave can then be accessed in two modes: Command and
User. When in User mode, accesses to the memory segment of the slaves
are translated in SPI transfers. When in Command mode, the HW
generates the SPI commands automatically and the memory segment is
accessed as if doing a MMIO. Other SPI controllers call that mode
linear addressing mode.
For this purpose, we are adding below each crontoller an array of
structs gathering for each SPI flash module, a segment rank, a
MemoryRegion to handle the memory accesses and the associated SPI
slave device, which should be a m25p80.
Only the User mode is supported for now but we are preparing ground
for the Command mode. The framework is sufficient to support Linux.

The Aspeed AST2400 soc includes a static memory controller for the BMC
which supports NOR, NAND and SPI flash memory modules. This controller
has two modes : the SMC for the legacy interface which supports only
one module and the FMC for the new interface which supports up to five
modules. The AST2400 also includes a SPI only controller used for the
host firmware, commonly called BIOS on Intel. It can be used in three
mode : a SPI master, SPI slave and SPI pass-through
Below is the initial framework for the SMC controller (FMC mode only)
and the SPI controller: the sysbus object, MMIO for registers
configuration and controls. Each controller has a SPI bus and a
configurable number of CS lines for SPI flash slaves.
The differences between the controllers are small, so they are
abstracted using indirections on the register numbers.
Only SPI flash modules are supported.
