[PATCH/RFC 1/2] spi: flash: Add power method into flash platform data

[Stanimir Varbanov]

For embedded devices or devices sensible to the power consumption
is reasonable to have a way to control the flash chips power. This
change in flash_platform_data makes possible to control the power
supply of the flash memory chip by adding a "power" method to it.

The platform then could attach a callback and control power supply
by it's choice. For example by other regulator driver, GPIO or
do nothing.
