Some time ago there was a first attempt to add deep power down support.
IIRC it was rejected because the differences between the chip types were
not considered well enough.

This patch is meant as a RfC.
Support for deep power down may be relevant especially for embedded devices.
I own devices with three different SPI NOR flash chips which all use the
same opcodes for suspend / resume.
Difference ist just the time they need for waking up.
The code however supports any type of suspend / resume procedure.

Initially only support for the chips I have access to was implemented.
