Hm, not sure you can do that without breaking setup that pass a
flash_platform_data object with a name.

Also, you should keep the name extracted from the label property if any
(this is done earlier, when spi_nor_set_flash_node() is called).

	if (data && data->name)
		nor->mtd.name = data->name;

	if (!nor->mtd.name)
		nor->mtd.name = spi_mem_get_name(spimem);
