[PATCH v1] mtd: core: add sysfs nodes for querying the flash name and id

[Zhuohao Lee <zhuohao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently, we don't have sysfs nodes for querying the underlying flash
name and flash id. This information is important especially when we
want to know the flash detail of the defective system. In order to
support the query, we add two pointers (*flashname, *id) into the
mtd_info structure and create two sysfs nodes (flashname, id). This
patch is modified based on the SPI-NOR flash system as we only have
that system now. But the idea should be applied to the other flash
driver like NAND flash.

The output of new sysfs nodes on my device are:
cat /sys/devices/platform/soc/11010000.spi/spi_master/spi1/spi1.0/mtd/mtd0/flashname
w25q64dw
cat /sys/devices/platform/soc/11010000.spi/spi_master/spi1/spi1.0/mtd/mtd0/id
