[PATCH v2 0/8] mtd: spi-nor: Rework flash parameter initialization

Try to simplify the flash initialization and get rid of the legacy
handling. As default, all the flags of the in-kernel database are
taken and amended with the SFDP data.

This might have the consequence that all the flashes now get a
RDSFPD opcode which might be an unknown opcode. But that was already
the case for any flashes which were unknown to the linux kernel. So
far, there was not a single complaint. See patch 8 for more
information.

Sashiko found that not everything is rolled back in case of a SFDP
parsing failure. Thus there are now 5 additional patches which will
move the discovered parameters into spi_nor_flash_parameter which is
rolled back. The new rule is now:

  SFDP parsing and the per-flash SFDP fixups must only change the
  spi_nor_flash_parameter data.

changes since v1:
 - collected Tb and Rb tags
 - Fixed the roll-back issue Sashiko found, we now keep two backups
   for the parameters.
 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/[email protected]/

changes since the RFC:
 - new patches to address the rollback issue, as pointed out by
   Sashiko
 - remove SKIP_SFDP from kerneldoc, as pointed out by Sashiko
 - mention issuing the potential unsupported RDSFPD command in the
   commit message, as pointed out by Tudor
 - Link to the RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/[email protected]/
