Add the possibility to dump the SFDP data of a flash device.
More and more flash devices share the same flash ID and we need per device fixups. Usually, these fixups differentiate flashes by looking at differences in the SFDP data. Determining the difference is only possible if we have the SFDP data for all the flashes which share a flash ID. This will lay the foundation to dump the whole SFDP data of a flash device.
This is even more important, because some datasheets doesn't even contain the SFDP data. Fixups for these kind of flashes are nearly impossible to do.
I envision having a database of all the SFDP data for the flashes we support and make it a requirement to submit it when a new flash is added. This might or might not have legal implications. Thus I'd start with having that database private to the SPI NOR maintainers.
Changes since v2: - use .dev_groups of the driver to attach the attributes - add manufacturer attribue - rename attribute name to partname - add ABI documentation
Changes since v1: - use sysfs_emit() - add comment about the allocation of the sfdp dwords - free SFDP memory in the error path - use BIN_ATTR_RO(sfdp, 0) - use spi_nor_read_sfdp()
Changes since RFC: - Don't read SFDP data after probe. The flash might already be switched to 8D-8D-8D mode. Instead, cache the SFDP data - add two sysfs files: jedec-id and name - change the file mode of the sfdp file from 0400 to 0444. There is no hardware access anymore.
