Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] spi: Support controllers with multiple data lanes
Add support for SPI controllers with multiple physical SPI data lanes.
(A data lane in this context means lines connected to a serializer, so a
controller with two data lanes would have two serializers in a single
controller).
This is common in the type of controller that can be used with parallel
flash memories, but can be used for general purpose SPI as well.
To indicate support, a controller just needs to set ctlr->num_data_lanes
to something greater than 1. Peripherals indicate which lane they are
connected to via device tree (ACPI support can be added if needed).

v3 changes:
* Renamed "buses" to "lanes" to reflect devicetree property name change.
This patch has been seen in a different series [1] by Sean before:
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/20250616220054.3968946-4-sean.anderson@linux.dev/
Changes:
* Use u8 array instead of bitfield so that the order of the mapping is
preserved. (Now looks very much like chip select mapping.)
* Added doc strings for added fields.
* Tweaked the comments.
