[PATCH v3 00/41] mtd: spi-nor: clean the flash_info database up

The goal is to have slim entries for *new* entries and to have a
flexible macro to specify the flash ID and get rid of the former
INFOx() macros with the hardcoded ID length.

Here is are some examples how an entry of flash_info will look like
after the conversion:
  {
    .id = SNOR_ID(0xef, 0x80, 0x20),
    .name = "w25q512nwm",
    .otp = SNOR_OTP(256, 3, 0x1000, 0x1000),
  }

  {
    .id = SNOR_ID(0x01, 0x02, 0x19, 0x4d, 0x00, 0x80),
    .name = "s25fl256s0",
    .size = SZ_32M,
    .sector_size = SZ_256K,
    .no_sfdp_flags = SPI_NOR_SKIP_SFDP | SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ | SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ,
    .mfr_flags = USE_CLSR,
  }

Please note that the second entry might even be slimmed down if the
flash supports SFDP, which is very likely. But apart from one
exception, this patchset shouldn't change any information in the
flash_info database.

The exception is the removal of very old SPI EEPROMs and a Fujitsu MRAM.
Both should use the at25 EEPROM driver. The latter even has device tree
bindings for the at25 driver.

To make the entries as slim as possible, we introduce sane default
values so the actual flash_info entries, doesn't need to specify them.
This mostly applies to old non-SFDP flashes anyway.

Patches 01-02 remove the old catalyst EEPROMs and the Fujitsu MRAM.

Patches 03-16 are preparation patches to either convert properties
(like .n_sectors) or to make properties optional. These patches will
also modify the old INFOx() macros. This is important because with this
we can actually make sure, the conversion doesn't have any unwanted
changes. We can compare the .rodata segment before and after the
conversion to make sure, there are no mistakes in the patches, because
they are impossible to review.

To make sure there are no changes you can compare the output of
  objdump -j.rodata -s drivers/mtd/spi-nor/built-in.a

(or individual objects like drivers/mtd/spi-nor/winbond.o) before and
after the conversion, that is before patch 17 and after patch 30.

FWIW, before the conversion it was impossible to use coccinelle, eg.
"spatch --parse-c winbond.c" flagged almost all lines in the flash_info
structure as bad.

Now after the conversion is completed, patches 31-39 sort the
entries by their IDs.

Patch 40 removes a duplicate entry in atmel which surfaced during the
sorting.

Patch 41 then finally removes the old INFOx() macros.

Tested with the following flashes:
 - w25q32dw/layerscape spi
 - w25q32dw (with empty size and empty no_sfdp_flags)/layerscape spi
 - w25q16dw/mediatek spi
