Subject: mtd: remove __PPC__ hardcoded address from nand/diskonchip and devices/docprobe

Such a hardcoded address can cause a checkstop or machine check if
the driver is in the kernel but the address is not acknowledged.

Both drivers allow an address to be specified as either a module
parameter or config option.   Any future powerpc board should either
use one of these methods or find the address in the device tree.

There is no powerpc defconfig that sets either CONFIG_DOC200{0,1*} nor
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_DISKONCHIP in next-20080710.
