	platform_data is overkill for m25p80 chips, the
driver only needs to know exact chip model, and that's what device
tables are for.

To be fair, the platform_data also supports partitioning
and labeling e.g. for cmdlinepart ...

With OF we do partitioning and labling via drivers/mtd/ofpart.c.

Though, so far there is no support for OF partitions in the m25p80
driver. I think we'd better put the OF partitions probing into
parse_mtd_partitions(), and avoid calling of_mtd_parse_partitons()
directly...

Thanks,
