This way it can be reused by other platforms if needed.

Note that this driver is designed to work with the Versatile Express NOR
flash of Juno and FVP. In said platforms, the memory is organized as an
interleaved memory of two chips with a 16 bit word.

Any platform that wishes to reuse it with a different configuration will
need to modify the driver so that it is more generic.

The nor_XXXXX functions may fail due to different reasons, and it
is convenient to do a full check to detect any failure. It is also
a good idea to have a specific function to do a full status check,
because new checks can be added to this function and they will be
incorporated automatically to any function calling it.

NOR memory only supports setting bits to 1. To clear a bit, set to zero,
the NOR memory needs to be erased.

The status register bits remain until explicitly cleared, which means
that a command can be incorrectly considered to have generated an error -
for example, after reset the status register contents may be unknown or
if a previous command had failed.

This patch clears the status register before beginning any command to
be sure that the status register only represents information about the
current operation.

lock/unlock operation must wait until WSM bit
is set. Since we do not allow to loop forever then these functions
must return an error if WSM bit isn't enabled after a number of tries.

FVP and Juno platforms include a NOR flash memory to store and
load the FIP, the kernel or a ramdisk. This NOR flash is arranged
as 2 x 16 bit flash devices and can be programmed using CFI
standard commands.

This patch provides a basic API to write single 32 bit words of
data into the NOR flash. Functions to lock/unlock blocks against
erase or write operations are also provided.
