Dear maintainers,

This patch series introduces new SPI controller driver for Axiado AX3000 SoC and its evaluation board.

The SPI controller provides:
- Full-duplex and half-duplex transfer support
- Configurable clock polarity and phase
- Interrupt-driven

Functionality has been verified using the `jedec,spi-nor` interface
to access onboard flash memory. This ensures compatibility with common NOR flash devices
used in boot and storage subsystem.

The driver integrates with the Linux SPI subsystem and follows kernel coding standards.

This initial submission includes:
- Driver implementation under `drivers/spi/`
- Device tree bindings for supported boards
- Kconfig and Makefile integration

Further improvements, including performance tuning and extended hardware feature support,
will be submitted in follow-up patches.

Feedback is welcome.
