This feature was dropped from U-Boot some time ago:
f12f96cfaf (sf: Drop spl_flash_get_sw_write_prot")
However, we do need a way to see if a flash device is write-protected,
since if it is, it may not be possible to write to do (i.e. failing to
write is expected).
I am not sure of the correct layer to implement this, so this patch is a
stab at it. If spi-flash makes sense then I will add to the 'sf' also.
Re the points mentioned in the removal commit:
1) This kind of requirement can be achieved using existing
flash operations and flash locking API calls instead of
making a separate flash API.
Which uclass is this?
2) Technically there is no real hardware user for this API to
use in the source tree.
I do want coral (at least) to support this.
3) Having a flash operations API for simple register read bits
also make difficult to extend the flash operations.
This new patch only mentions write-protect being on or off, rather than
the actual mechanism.
4) Instead of touching generic code, it is possible to have
this functionality inside spinor operations in the form of
flash hooks or fixups for associated flash chips.
That sounds to me like what drivers are for. But we still need some sort
of API for it to be accessible.

This fixes dev_xxx() not always being called with a device. In
spi_nor_reg_read, a the slave device may not always be available, so we use
bus and cs instead.

The -ENODEV error value in spi_nor_read_id() is incorrect since there
clearly is a device - it just cannot be supported. Use -ENOMEDIUM instead
which has the virtue of being less common.
Fix the return value in spi_nor_scan().
Also there are a few printf() statements which should be debug() since
they bloat the code with unused strings at present. Fix those while here.

The get_sw_write_prot API is used to get the write-protected
bits of flash by reading the status register and other wards
it's API for reading register bits.

Considering all these points, this patch drops the get_sw_write_prot
and associated code bases.

At present dm/device.h includes the linux-compatible features. This
requires including linux/compat.h which in turn includes a lot of headers.
One of these is malloc.h which we thus end up including in every file in
U-Boot. Apart from the inefficiency of this, it is problematic for sandbox
which needs to use the system malloc() in some files.
Move the compatibility features into a separate header file.

Add a tiny SPI flash stack that just supports reading data/images from
SPI flash. This is useful for boards that have SPL size constraints and
would need to use SPI flash framework just to read images/data from
flash. There is approximately 1.5 to 2KB savings with this.
Based on prior work of reducing spi flash id table by
