[PATCH v6, 5/8] mtd: m25p80: Let m25p80_read() fallback to spi transfer

In m25p80_read() even though spi_flash_read() is supported
by some drivers, under certain circumstances like unaligned
buffer, address or address range limitations on certain SoCs
let it fallback to core spi reads. Such drivers are expected
to return -EAGAIN so that the m25p80_read() uses standard
spi transfer.
