Subject: [PATCH] mtd: cfi: don't warn about broken geometry for !CONFIG_MTD

The linux/mtd/map.h header file is included by a couple of
platform specific files that are built even when CONFIG_MTD
is disabled, and we always get

 warning "No CONFIG_MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_xx selected. No NOR chip support can work"

in that case. This adds an #ifdef around the pointless warning,
as everything is really fine when we don't build the drivers
anyway.

The patch fixes the remaining warnings I see on ARM randconfigs in this file,
and I think it makes sense to keep it as a separate patch, as these are really
distinct problems even thought the symptom is the same.

Please apply both.
