[PATCH v2 6/6] mtd: spi-nor: introduce support for displaying deprecation message

[Michael Walle]

SPI-NOR will automatically detect the attached flash device most of the
time. We cannot easily find out if boards are using a given flash.
Therefore, add a .deprecation_version to the flash_info struct which
indicates the kernel version after which the driver support will be
removed.
