Some of the check done in custom ->_read/write_oob() implementation are
already done by the core (in mtd_check_oob_ops()).

Some MTD sublayers/drivers are implementing ->_read/write_oob() and
provide dummy wrappers for their ->_read/write() implementations.
Let the core handle this case instead of duplicating the logic.

Restore the status to be compatible with legacy devices.
Take Freescale eSPI boot for example, it copies (in 3 Byte
addressing mode) the RCW and bootloader images from SPI flash
without firing a reset signal previously, so the reboot command
will fail without resetting the addressing mode of SPI flash.
This patch implements .shutdown function to restore the status
in reboot process, and add the same operation to the .remove
function.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
  KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
  think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.

  Non-highlights:

   - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
     in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
     with x86.

  Highlights:

   - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
     true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.

   - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.

   - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
     can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.

   - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
     to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.

   - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
     some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).

   - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
     some Power9 revisions.

   - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
     CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.

   - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
     for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
     to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.

   - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
     using transactional memory.

   - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
     Power9.

   - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
     Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
     handles requests.

   - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Commit e8e3edb95ce6 ("mtd: create per-device and module-scope debugfs
entries") tried to make MTD related debugfs stuff consistent across the
MTD framework by creating a root <debugfs>/mtd/ directory containing
one directory per MTD device.

The problem is that, by default, the MTD layer only registers the
master device if no partitions are defined for this master. This
behavior breaks all drivers that expect mtd->dbg.dfs_dir to be filled
correctly after calling mtd_device_register() in order to add their own
debugfs entries.

The only way we can force all MTD masters to be registered no matter if
they expose partitions or not is by enabling the
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER option.

In such situations, there's no other solution but to accept skipping
debugfs initialization when dbg.dfs_dir is invalid, and when this
happens, inform the user that he should consider enabling
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER.
