[POWERPC] Add of_platform support for ROM devices
This adds support for flash device descriptions to the OF device tree. It's inspired by and partially borrowed from Sergei's patch "[RFC] Adding MTD to device tree.patch".

+ g) Flash chip nodes
+
+ Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
+ file systems on embedded devices.
+
+ Required properties:
+
+ - device_type : has to be "rom"
+ - compatible : Should specify what this ROM device is compatible with
+ (i.e. "onenand"). Currently, this is most likely to be "direct-mapped"
+ (which corresponds to the MTD physmap mapping driver).
+ - regs : Offset and length of the register set (or memory mapping) for
+ the device.
+
+ Recommended properties :
+
+ - bank-width : Width of the flash data bus in bytes. Required
+ for the NOR flashes (compatible == "direct-mapped" and others) ONLY.
+ - partitions : Several pairs of 32-bit values where the first value is
+ partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
+ partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only
+ partititon (so, the parition size should always be an even number).
+ - partition-names : The list of concatenated zero terminated strings
+ representing the partition names.
+
+ Example:
+
+ flash@ff000000 {
+ device_type = "rom";
+ compatible = "direct-mapped";
+ regs = <ff000000 01000000>;
+ bank-width = <4>;
+ partitions = <00000000 00f80000
+ 00f80000 00080001>;
+ partition-names = "fs\0firmware";
+ };
+
More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
