[sdiy] New SPI SRAM

[Eric Brombaugh]

I started seeing references to QSPI PSRAMs in some of the embedded 
development forums last year. At that time they were all coming out of 
obscure fabless outfits in China who were keeping the data sheets under 
NDA and not selling to anyone that wasn't in their treehouse. Nice to 
see a big player like ISSI doing this - most of the STM32 that I'm using 
now have solid QSPI ports and even allow memory mapping so it's 
conceivable that dropping one of these little 8-pin parts in could 
really open up the storage options.

Would be even nicer if you could get them at the big distributors...
