[PATCH] Documentation: dt: mtd: replace "nor-jedec" binding with "jedec, spi-nor"

In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec"
binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all
mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID
opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however
objections have come up since then as part of this discussion:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074

It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better
job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR
flash.

This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change
the naming.

At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name.

Next up: prune the m25p_ids[] table to the minimal necessary listing, so
we can stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the
documentation.

I'd *really* like to get an 'ack' from a DT maintainer for this, those those
are apparently very hard to come by. And I'd really not like to have to revisit
this again in a few weeks. We have patches getting queued up for 4.2 that are
using the "nor-jedec" binding, and I'd like to nip those in the bud ASAP.
