When enabled, instead of erasing entire flash page at once, page will
be erased in defined time slices. Erasing single page stalls CPU
for significant time share (~80ms) and partial erase divides the
operation in to the shorter time periods, resuming CPU operation in
meantime and enabling better scheduling of time sensitive operations.

I think people might be reading differences into 'if' and 'depends on'
that aren't there, like maybe 'if' being needed to "hide" a symbol,
while 'depends on' just adds a dependency.
There are no differences between 'if' and 'depends on'. 'if' is just a
shorthand for 'depends on'. They work the same when it comes to creating
implicit menus too.
The way symbols get "hidden" is through their dependencies not being
satisfied ('if'/'depends on' get copied up as a dependency on the
prompt).
Since 'if' and 'depends on' are the same, an 'if' with just a single
symbol in it can be replaced with a 'depends on'. IMO, it's best to
avoid 'if' there as a style choice too, because it confuses people into
thinking there's deep Kconfig magic going on that requires 'if'.
Going for 'depends on' can also remove some nested 'if's, which
generates nicer symbol information and docs, because nested 'if's really
are so simple/dumb that they just add the dependencies from both 'if's
to all symbols within.
Replace a bunch of single-symbol 'if's with 'depends on' to despam the
Kconfig files a bit and make it clearer how things work. Also do some
other minor related dependency refactoring.
The replacement isn't complete. Will fix up the rest later. Splitting it
a bit to make it more manageable.
(Everything above is true for choices, menus, and comments as well.)
Detected by tweaking the Kconfiglib parsing code. It's impossible to
detect after parsing, because 'if' turns into 'depends on'.

According to NRF product specifications the smallest write unit is
32-bits. Added parameter 'CONFIG_EMULATE_ONE_BYTE_WRITE_ACCESS'
which allows one byte flash write using more complex operation.

Grouped all nRF driver sub-option under SOC_FLASH_NRF
menuconfig.
This makes menuconfig cleaner.

Introduce nrfx_nvmc driver into nordic flash driver implementation.
Thanks to that nrf9160 SoC becomes supported by the driver.
nrfx helps dealing with differences with interface to the NVMC
in secure and non-secure execution modes.
This patch adds NRFX_NVMC Kconfig entry for enabling nrfx_nvmc and
select it along with nordic flash driver.
Disabled UICR operation on nRF9160 for non-secure build
as UICR is not available in this mode.

Update the files which contain no license information with the
'Apache-2.0' SPDX license identifier. Many source files in the tree are
missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance
tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of Zephyr, which is Apache version 2.

An external project extending the Zephyr RTOS and its drivers may have
subsystems that must use its own specific driver(s) when active. One
example is the nRF5x NVMC that must be scheduled in between radio
operations. A subsystem may also be dependent on its own drivers for
security, real-time and/or because of hardware constrains.
In order to not introduce non-Zephyr specific code into the Zephyr tree,
an option is added to disable the in-tree drivers in Zephyr. Because
Kconfig does not support a good way of de-selecting other symbols, a
variable on the form `<DRIVER>_FORCE_ALT` is added as a
dependency for each `<DRIVER>`. For example, the out-of-tree subsystem
will select `FLASH_NRF_FORCE_ALT` to disable the in-tree driver. A
solution for issue #8181 would open up for a more general solution,
however #8181 requires significant effort.
Support for out-of-tree drivers is added to Nordic drivers for
clock_control, entropy and flash.
A generic solution for this is desired. Issue #14527 is tracking that
progress.

Redefining the config will not let another (out-of-source) driver be
chosen instead of the default. The driver is practically forced by the
soc settings. This commit moves default settings from soc/arm/nordic_nrf
into the drivers themselves.

Cleanup the Kconfig code for the flash driver. Platform-specific
options should be in their own Kconfig files to be consistent and to
not pollute the common configuration.
To this end we move the nrf options into it's own file.
