[PATCH v2] m25p80: add support for a callback to platform code on successful device probe

On some platforms, MTD device can hold MAC address, calibration
data, serial numbers etc.

On TI's DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18xx EVM, MAC address is stored on
the last sector of the SPI flash, which is exported as an MTD
device. Ethernet driver on this platform needs MAC address to
be passed through platform data. The callback function can be
used to read the MAC address. The callback has to be invoked
after the MTD device is setup.

This patch adds two new members to the 'flash_platform_data'
structure, a function handler which will be called after
add_mtd_device() and an argument to be passed to this function,
for example: offset to read from.
