    [MTD] Convert physmap to platform driver · 73566edf

    After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
    driver to be a platform driver.  I know zilch about the driver model,
    so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
    ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.
    
    In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
    code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
    is defined and != 0.  Also, I've changed the default value for
    CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
    compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
    burned.
    
    This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
    for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
    needed.  (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
    directly.)
    
    Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
    platform devices, the compat code can go.  (Or we decide that we can
    change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
    compat code.)
