Add notes to describe how some SoCs integrate this NAND core a little
differently, and so we define extra compatibility strings and register
resources/names.

<title>Documentation: dt: mtd: replace "nor-jedec" binding with "jedec, spi-nor"</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec"
binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all
mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID
opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however
objections have come up since then as part of this discussion:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074

It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better
job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR
flash.

This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change
the naming.

At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name.

Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the
documentation.

<content type='text'>
Almost all flash that are "compatible" with m25p80 support the JEDEC
READ ID opcode (0x9F), and in fact, that is often the only thing that is
used to differentiate them. Let's add a compatible string that
represents this lowest common denominator of compatibility.

Device trees can still specify manufacturer/device names in addition,
but (until some reason is found to differentiate between them through
device tree) software will likely want to bind just against the generic
name, and avoid unnecessarily growing its device ID binding tables.

This is related to the work of commit a5b7616c55e1 ("mtd:
m25p80,spi-nor: Fix module aliases for m25p80"), which showed that
maintaining these device tables as stable device-tree/modalias binding
tables is not a worthwhile burden for mostly-comptatible flash.

At the same time, let's update the binding doc to point to the
m25p_ids[] ID list instead of spi_nor_ids[]. The former can be used for
device tree bindings, but the latter cannot. In the future, we should
pare down the m25p_ids[] list to only those IDs which are actually used
in device trees.
