[patch 2/3] mtd: m25p80: Rework probing/JEDEC code

From: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov at ru.mvista.com>

Previously the driver always tried JEDEC probing, assuming that non-JEDEC
chips will return '0'.  But truly non-JEDEC chips (like CAT25) won't do
that, their behaviour on RDID command is undefined, so the driver should
not call jedec_probe() for these chips.

Also, be less strict on error conditions, don't fail to probe if JEDEC
found a chip that is different from what platform code told, instead just
print some warnings and use an information obtained via JEDEC.  In that
case we should not trust partitions any longer, but they might be still
useful (i.e.  they could protect some parts of the chip).
