Merge tag 'spi-nor/for-5.18' into mtd/next
SPI NOR core changes: - move vendor specific code out of the core into vendor drivers. - unify all function and object names in the vendor modules. - make setup() callback optional to improve readability. - skip erase logic when the SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE flag is set at flash declaration.
