Subject: [PATCH] mtd: m25p80: allow fallback from spi_flash_read to regular
 SPI transfer

Some flash controllers, e.g. on the ath79 platform can support a fast
flash read via memory mapping, but only if the flash chip is in
3-byte address mode.

Since spi_flash_read_supported does not have access to the same data as
spi_flash_read, the driver can't detect an unsupported call until m25p80
has decided to use spi_flash_read.

Allow the driver to indicate a fallback to a regular SPI transfer by
returning -EOPNOTSUPP
