spi: Updates for v4.14

A fairly quiet release for the SPI subsystem:

 - Move to using IDR for allocating bus numbers.
 - Modernisation of the ep93xx driver, removing a lot of open coding and
   using the framework more.
 - The tools have been moved to use the standard tools build system and
   an install target added (there will be a fairly trivial conflict
   with tip resulting from the changes in the main tools Makefile).
 - A refactoring of the Qualcomm QUP driver which enables new variants
   to be supported.
 - Explicit support for the Freescale i.MX53 and i.MX6 SPI, Renesas
   R-Car H3 and Rockchip RV1108 controllers.

There's also a trivial add/add conflict in spi.c with the ACPI tree
adding a header for some Apple support and the IDR code needing a header
too.
