Pratyush Yadav 575caf4500 mtd: spi-nor-core: Perform a Soft Reset on shutdown ...

On probe, the SPI NOR core will put a flash in 8D-8D-8D mode if it
supports it. But Linux as of now expects to get the flash in 1S-1S-1S
mode. Handing the flash to Linux in Octal DTR mode means the kernel will
fail to detect the flash.

So, we need to reset to Power-on-Reset (POR) state before handing off
the flash. A Software Reset command can be used to do this.

One limitation of the soft reset is that it will restore state from
non-volatile registers in some flashes. This means that if the flash was
set to 8D mode in a non-volatile configuration, a soft reset won't help.
This commit assumes that we don't set any non-volatile bits anywhere,
and the flash doesn't have any non-volatile Octal DTR mode
configuration.

Since spi-nor-tiny doesn't (and likely shouldn't) have
spi_nor_soft_reset(), add a dummy spi_nor_remove() for it that does
nothing.
