Add spi-phy-pattern-partition, a per-device phandle property on the
flash sub-node that allows the DT author to directly reference the
partition holding the SPI PHY tuning pattern. Used to locate the
pattern data during PHY tuning when the device cannot load the
pattern dynamically.

PHY tuning works by reading a known data pattern from the device
repeatedly while sweeping controller delay parameters until the
capture window is stable. For SPI NAND, the driver loads the pattern
into the page cache once using write-to-cache opcodes, then reads it
during the sweep. SPI NOR devices have no equivalent opcode, so the
pattern must be pre-programmed in a dedicated flash partition. One
partition per device is required to keep the procedure unambiguous
when multiple devices share a bus.
