New Broadcom SoCs have NAND flashes attached & programmed in a totally different
way. Instead of accessing them with help of ChipCommon core, they can be used
directly.

To support them we can extend bcm47xxnflash in the way this patches implements.
However almost nothing in the code will be shared between support for old and
new devices.

How should we proceed? Implement it that way anyway? Or maybe writing a
separated driver (bcm53xxnflash?) would be a better idea?

This reverts commit 994bbd0e91c0dfa4dcda9097b0716607aeec5470.

We're going to add support for more NAND flashes and the new ones are
not registered as platform devices. So we need our own init function.
