[PATCH v2 0/5] m25p80,spi-nor: Fix module aliases for m25p80; clean up chip identification

The first patch in the series restores the module aliases to m25p80, but
it does so by duplicating the list of names.  This should be suitable
for stable, but it isn't viable in the longer term.

The following patches change the spi-nor interface so that this
duplication is no longer necessary.  This includes removing
spi_nor::read_id, but it could be re-added after this with a different
interface, e.g. returning a flash_info structure (which would need to be
defined in spi_nor.h).

v2: Rebase onto l2-mtd/master.
    Put all the flash information into spi-nor.h rather than using an
    elaborate set of macros to validate names in spi-nor.c.

These patches are still untested by me, aside from compiling and
checking that m25p80 has the expected module aliases.

Ben.
