I attempted to apply this v12 together with the v11 of pl353-smc (which seems
to be the latest version) onto a vanilla v4.19 kernel tree. Application was
smooth and a build was without errors. During boot, my dmesg was spammed with
lots of repetitions of this:

The respective mtd character devices were created, but e.g. reading them
results in -EIO.

The device tested on works fine with v4.14 and a driver close to the
xilinx kernel tree at github.

I acknowledge that th v12 submission predates the v4.19 release, but at
this time, the driver will need reworking.
