Two of them don't even compile any more.

The patch below removes them and all code depending on them and makes
the remaining one (MTD_SHARP) compilable again.

MTD_OBSOLETE_CHIPS shouldn't be marked as BROKEN.

This patch brings the MTD_SHARP driver back into life and removes the
non-compiling MTD_AMDSTD and MTD_JEDEC with everything depending on
them.

Due to it's size, the patch is attached gzip'ed.
