Subject: [PATCH] spi: document broadcom qspi driver as broken

The newly broadcom qspi driver in drivers/spi produces a build
warning when CONFIG_MTD is disabled:

include/linux/mtd/cfi.h:76:2: #warning No CONFIG_MTD_CFI_Ix selected. No NOR chip support can work. [-Werror=cpp]

I had suggested a workaround earlier, but Cyrille Pitchen explained
that actually the broadcom qspi is broken here and needs to be
fixed, see the lenghthy reply in patchwork.

As nothing has happened on that driver, this tries to at least
avoid the build failure, by marking the driver as broken unless
CONFIG_MTD is enabled. Also, I add a WARN_ON_ONCE runtime
that triggers when the spi-nor framework and the driver disagree
about the command opcode, which was one of several issues that
Cyrille pointed out.

My patch does not attempt to fix any of the actual bugs though,
it just tries to avoid the build error while highlighting the
problems. Ideally, someone would step up to create a tested
fix. If that doesn't happen, please merge my version instead
as a workaround.
