Powerpc powernv platforms allow access to certain system flash devices
through a firmwarwe interface. This change adds an mtd driver for these
flash devices.

Minor updates from Jeremy Kerr and Joel Stanley.

Hello Brian and MTD folk,
Could I please get an ACK for Michael to take this through the powerpc
tree.
Thanks.


V2: Address Brian Norris' review
    Fix typos
    Change from NAND flash type to NOR flash type
    Correctness tweaks
V3: Address Neelesh Gupta's review
    Minor corrections
    Release the opal token on error
    Unregister mtd device on module remove

Hello Brian,

As we have some deadlines approaching, I am getting pressure to ensure
this gets merged upstream as quickly as possible, please let me know if
there is anything more which can be done.

Thanks very much,

FYI, Brian is not available for the next 1.5 weeks.
So I fear this driver has to wait for the next merge window.

OK. We'll merge it via the powerpc tree and if there are any problems with it
we can fix them later.
