[PATCH v3] mtd: spi-nor: simplify spi_nor_get_flash_info()

[Michael Walle]

Rework spi_nor_get_flash_info() to make it look more straight forward
and esp. don't return early. The latter is a preparation to check for
deprecated flashes.

v3:
 - rework the handling quite a bit, thanks Tudor.
 - drop the spurious comment about the partitions, it goes way back
   until the initial support. I don't think it's accurate anymore.
   If the flash has the same size, the partitions can be trusted. If
   not, anything can happen.. We don't know.

v2/v1:
 - none, this is a remaining patch of my spring cleanup series.
