[RFC PATCH 3/3] spi: hisi-sfc-v3xx: Add prepare/unprepare methods to avoid race condition

[Yicong Yang <yangyicong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The controller can be shared with the firmware, which may cause race
problems. As most read/write/erase/lock/unlock of spi-nor flash are
composed of a set of operations, while the firmware may use the controller
and start its own operation in the middle of the process started by the
kernel driver, which may lead to the kernel driver's function broken.

Bit[20] in HISI_SFC_V3XX_CMD_CFG register plays a role of a lock, to
protect the controller from firmware access, which means the firmware
cannot reach the controller if the driver set the bit. Add prepare/
unprepare methods for the controller, we'll hold the lock in prepare
method and release it in unprepare method, which will solve the race
issue.
