[PATCH v3 6/7] mtd: m25p80: add a read function to read page by page

Hmmm.... for some reason the previous replies didn't get picked up by
patchwork, so I'm replying with my comment again for the public
record.

In this case the eSPI controller driver is buggy and needs to be
fixed.  If the hardware can only support small transfers, then it is
the responsibilty of the driver to chain up smaller chunks into one
big transfer, and make sure that the CS line doesn't go low in the
middle of it.
