[PATCH 00/11] Port the FSL QSPI driver to the SPI framework

[Frieder Schrempf <frieder.schrempf@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 a function spi_mem_get_name() to the SPI memory interface,
and patch 2 uses it in m25p80.c to make it possible for SPI controller
drivers to provide a custom naming scheme for the flash chip.
This is needed to avoid breaking compatibility of mtdparts when switching
from the old to the new driver.

Patch 3 adds a 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 are necessary (see patches 4,5 and 6).

Patch 7 changes the defconfigs to use the new driver and patch 8 removes
the old driver.

Patch 9 and 10 remove 'fsl,qspi-has-second-chip' from the devicetrees.
Patch 11 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
Winbond W25M02GV flash.

If someone has a board that uses both chips selects and/or both busses,
it would be really nice to have the driver be tested on such a setup.
