UBI needs to know the physical erase block size, even on read-only
devices, since it defines the on-device layout. Use a device-tree
provided value to support previously written UBI on read-only NOR.
UBI also needs a non-zero writebufsize, so we set it to one.
Note: This was implemented because hardware write-protected CFI
NOR cannot be probed for the physical erase block size.

Previously, the only way to map a NOR device as a simple ROM was to
use the obsolete "direct-mapped" compatible binding (which further
requires device_type = "nor" and probe-type = "NOR" properties).
This patch adds an "mtd-rom" compatible binding to the "map_rom"
probe type.

Currently cfi_cmdset_0002.c does not support PPB locking of sectors. This
patch adds support for this locking/unlocking mechanism. It is needed on
some platforms, since newer U-Boot versions do support this PPB locking
and protect for example their environment sector(s) this way.
This PPB locking/unlocking will be enabled for all devices supported by
cfi_cmdset_0002 reporting 8 in the CFI word 0x49 (Sector Protect/Unprotect
scheme).
Please note that PPB locking does support sector-by-sector locking. But
the whole chip can only be unlocked together. So unlocking one sector
will automatically unlock all sectors of this device. Because of this
chip limitation, the PPB unlocking function saves the current locking
status of all sectors before unlocking the whole device. After unlocking
the saved locking status is re-configured. This way only the addressed
sectors will be unlocked.
To selectively enable this advanced sector protection mechanism, the
device-tree property "use-advanced-sector-protection" has been created.
To enable support for this locking this property needs to be present in the
flash DT node. E.g.:
nor_flash@0,0 {
compatible = "amd,s29gl256n", "cfi-flash";
bank-width = <2>;
use-advanced-sector-protection;
...
Tested with Spansion S29GL512S10THI and Micron JS28F512M29EWx flash
devices.

On some platforms (e.g. MPC5200) a direct 1:1 mapping may cause
problems with JFFS2 usage, as the local bus (LPB) doesn't support
unaligned accesses as implemented in the JFFS2 code via memcpy().
By defining "no-unaligned-direct-access", the flash will not be
exposed directly to the MTD users (e.g. JFFS2) any more.
