17   Drive Atmel WINC1500 offloaded WiFi chip.

19Description:
20   In order to support WINC1500 chip, it has been decided to use the
21   existing Atmel't HAL: ASF. WINC1500 is an MCU providing WiFi and
22   an IPv4 stack. These features appear then fully offloaded from Zephyr
23   into that chip.
24
25   Provides an acces to WiFi networks.
26
27   Zephyr does not own a native WiFi stack, however enabling Zephyr to
28   access WiFi networks is critical and using such offloaded MCU is the
29   easiest way to achieve this goal.
30
31   WINC1500 is fairly easy to interface with, it proposes either SPI or
32   I²C bus to do so.
33
34Dependencies:
35   None.
36
37   No direct dependancy. Zephyr will see the MCU as a usual network
38   interface. Such object being instanciated by the driver, which in turn
39   accesses the chip through Atmel ASF HAL.
