Add a hook to physmap_flash_data for map_info initialization.  This makes
platform code can customize map operations.

Background: I wrote this patch to support RBTX4939 board, which requires
custom map->{read,write,copy_from} function.  I think extending the
physmap driver is better than adding a new map driver.

Hm. I'm unconvinced -- surely you're calling into a function which does
everything that a 'new map driver' would have to do anyway?

Would you advocate that we remove _all_ the dedicated map drivers and
replace them with this method?

Can't you enable physmap without CONFIG_MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS being set
anyway? The 'special' functions can't be used in that config, and we
just assume that direct access works.
