[PATCH 1/3] mtd: maps: only point() maps read through the simple accessors

[Orgad Shaneh]

map_is_linear() only checks that a map has a physical address. Map
drivers that install their own accessors keep one, and a pointer
bypasses whatever those accessors do:

- physmap's IXP4xx support: the expansion bus only takes 16-bit
  accesses (the reason it cannot use memcpy_fromio()), and on
  little-endian kernels every access also flips address bit 1 and
  swaps bytes;
- physmap's Gemini support enables the flash pins only inside its
  accessors;
- lantiq-flash serializes the external bus against PCI and copies byte
  by byte because the EBU cannot take a prefetching memcpy;
- cobalt-flash reads at an offset inside a PCI BAR while leaving phys 0.

cfi_cmdset_0001 hands such pointers to jffs2 today, and the IXP4xx
boards carry Intel StrataFlash. Add map_is_simple(), true when the map
reads through the simple accessors (always true without
CONFIG_MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS, where the accessors are inline), and
require it before enabling point(). Maps with custom accessors fall
back to copying through them; on big-endian IXP4xx, where pointed reads
happened to work, jffs2 mounts get slower.

Fixes: 9d3b5086f6d4 ("mtd: physmap_of_gemini: Handle pin control")
Fixes: 2aba2f2a704d ("mtd: physmap_of: add a hook for Intel IXP4xx flash probing")
