[PATCH] spi: mtd dataflash driver

This is a conversion of the AT91rm9200 DataFlash MTD driver to use the
lightweight SPI framework, and no longer be AT91-specific.  It compiles
down to less than 3KBytes on ARM.

The driver allows board-specific init code to provide platform_data with
the relevant MTD partitioning information, and hotplugs.

This version has been lightly tested.  Its parent at91_dataflash driver has
been pretty well banged on, although kernel.org JFFS2 dataflash support was
acting broken the last time I tried it.
