This patch adds support for a spi-nor, platform driver for the
Altera ASMI Parallel II IP Core.  The intended use case is to be able
to update the flash used to load a FPGA at power up with mtd-utils.

v2:
    minor checkpatch fixing by Wu Hao <hao.wu@xxxxxxxxx>
    Use read_dummy value as suggested by Cyrille Pitchen.
    Don't assume 4 byte addressing (Cryille Pichecn and Marek Vasut).
    Fixed #define indenting as suggested by Marek Vasut.
    Added units to timer values as suggested by Marek Vasut.
    Use io(read|write)8_rep() as suggested by Marek Vasut.
    Renamed function prefixed with __ as suggested by Marek Vasut.

10 s poll timeout ? :)

Hi Marek,

The 10s timeout is fairly arbitrary. In other words, I pulled it out of thin air. Can you suggest a better timeout? From a practical standpoint 10s seemed to be much better than no timeout when I was debugging bad FPGA images. Without a timeout I was hanging the system when the FPGA image failed. With this timeout, we get a nice message and Linux keeps running happily.

Thanks for the feedback,

Matthew Gerlach

Otherwise looks good
