CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, and __devexit
from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

While checking the "__devinit" removal patches with checkpatch.pl, I
noticed several warnings related to a space between the function name
and '(', as well as long lines. I fixed the warnings up in this patch.

<title>mtd: move zero length verification to MTD API functions</title>

In many places in drivers we verify for the zero length, but this is very
inconsistent across drivers. This is obviously the right thing to do, though.
This patch moves the check to the MTD API functions instead and removes a lot
of duplication.

The MTD API function now zero the 'retlen' parameter before calling
the driver's method — do not do this again in drivers. This removes
duplicated '*retlen = 0' assignent from the following methods:

    'mtd_point()'
    'mtd_read()'
    'mtd_write()'
    'mtd_writev()'
    'mtd_panic_write()'

<title>mtd: do not duplicate length and offset checks in drivers</title>

We already verify that offset and length are within the MTD device size
in the MTD API functions. Let's remove the duplicated checks in drivers.
This patch only affects the following API's:

'mtd_erase()'
'mtd_point()'
'mtd_unpoint()'
'mtd_get_unmapped_area()'
'mtd_read()'
'mtd_write()'
'mtd_panic_write()'
'mtd_lock()'
'mtd_unlock()'
'mtd_is_locked()'
'mtd_block_isbad()'
'mtd_block_markbad()'

This patch adds a bit of noise by removing too sparse empty lines, but this is
not too bad.

<title>mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions</title>

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd-&gt;erase -&gt; mtd-&gt;_erase
mtd-&gt;read_oob -&gt; mtd-&gt;_read_oob
...

The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:

1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
   less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
   spot the big API change and amend them.
