[PATCH 0/7] mtd: spi-nor: Handle flash ID collisions

[Tudor Ambarus]

I've started working on the flash ID collisions problems, and also on the
read SFDP first idea, to stop the spagetti init of params. I see the
ID collision thing is a hot topic, so I post the first part of the work,
to gather comments. Entire series is just compile tested.

Introduce the manuf-id-collisions driver in order to address ID collisions
between manufacturers. manuf-id-collisions will be the place to add new
flash additions, where the manufacturer is ignorant enough, to not
implement the ID continuation scheme. flash_info entries will be added in
a first come, first served manner. Differentiation between flashes will be
done at runtime if possible. Where runtime differentiation is not possible,
new compatibles will be introduced, but this will be done as a last resort.
Every new flash addition that define the SFDP tables, should dump its SFDP
tables in the patch's comment section below the --- line, so that we can
reference it in case of collisions.

I can't dump the SFDP tables for the new flash additions, I'll need
support in case someone wants to add them.
