mtd: chips: Use SPDX license headers

Some of the files in mtd/chips do not have a SPDX license
header, presumably because the text string "GPL'd" didn't
parse with Thomas rulesets for magic license tagging.

Fix this, the code is initially from RedHat which clearly
targeted the Linux kernel and intended it to be GPLv2.

In any case the original author appears to be David
Woodhouse who can then confirm this.

mtd: map_rom: Support UBI on ROM

UBI needs to know the physical erase block size, even on read-only
devices, since it defines the on-device layout. Use a device-tree
provided value to support previously written UBI on read-only NOR.

UBI also needs a non-zero writebufsize, so we set it to one.

Note: This was implemented because hardware write-protected CFI
NOR cannot be probed for the physical erase block size.

mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions

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

mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
