The OPAL calls performed in this driver shouldn't be using
opal_async_wait_response() as this performs a wait_event() which, on
long running OPAL calls could result in hung task warnings. wait_event()
prevents timely signal delivery which is also undesirable.
This patch also attempts to quieten down the use of dev_err() when
errors haven't actually occurred and also to return better information up
the stack rather than always -EIO.

Because the MTD core might split up a read() or write() from userspace
into several calls to the driver, we may fail to get a token but already
have done some work, best to return -EINTR back to userspace and have
them decide what to do.

powernv_flash_probe() has pointless goto statements which jump to the
end of the function to simply return a variable. Rather than checking
for error and going to the label, just return the error as soon as it is
detected.

While this driver expects to interact asynchronously, OPAL is well
within its rights to return OPAL_SUCCESS to indicate that the operation
completed without the need for a callback. We shouldn't treat
OPAL_SUCCESS as an error rather we should wrap up and return promptly to
the caller.

BUG_ON() should be reserved in situations where we can not longer
guarantee the integrity of the system. In the case where
powernv_flash_async_op() receives an impossible op, we can still
guarantee the integrity of the system.

An opal_msg of type OPAL_MSG_ASYNC_COMP contains the return code in the
params[1] struct member. However this isn't intuitive or obvious when
reading the code and requires that a user look at the skiboot
documentation or opal-api.h to verify this.
Add an inline function to get the return code from an opal_msg and update
call sites accordingly.

Powerpc powernv platforms allow access to certain system flash devices
through a firmwarwe interface. This change adds an mtd driver for these
flash devices.
