Yes, this is "catching up the defconfigs." The SPI_NOR framework is new,
and I didn't want to generate defconfig noise until a few things
stabilized (particularly, its Kconfig symbol name).

OK, I'll try to split it up. Is ARM unique in tracking defconfigs in
separate trees? I assume MIPS, PowerPC, and Blackfin won't require the
same splitting? I'd like to avoid 31 patches when <20 could suffice.

I'll also rebase on linux-next. I think there may be a few conflicts.

Thanks,
Brian
