[PATCH v4 00/10] Port the FSL QSPI driver to the SPI framework

[Frieder Schrempf <frieder.schrempf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that the SPI memory interface was introduced by Boris [1], it is
possible to move drivers from mtd/spi-nor to the SPI framework in order
to use them for different type of SPI memory chips.

Patch 1 adds the driver for the Freescale QSPI controller to the SPI
framework. Together with m25p80.c it can be used to interface SPI
NOR flashes just as the old driver did. For this to work properly a few
minor changes to the devicetrees might be necessary (see patches 2 to 5).

Patch 6 changes the defconfigs to use the new driver and patch 9 removes
the old driver.

Patch 8 and 9 remove 'fsl,qspi-has-second-chip' from the devicetrees.
Patch 10 adjusts the MAINTAINERS file.

The new driver was tested with i.MX6UL and a Micron SPI NOR @ 60MHz.
The read performance of the new driver is almost the same or even better
than the old driver, depending on the block size.
The write performance is a bit slower on average (~10-15%).

The new driver was also tested with the SPI NAND framework [2] and a
Toshiba TC58CVG2S0H flash.

If someone has a board that uses two chips on a single bus, it would be
really nice to have the driver be tested on such a setup.
