Great work Cedric. I merged this series into dev-4.10.

In my simple test where I read off the PNOR, I get the following
improvement on the Romulus board I looked at:

$ time dd if=/dev/mtd6 of=/dev/null  bs=64k

v4.7.10-294-gec62e5e4b9bb       0m35.483s
v4.10.5-60-g5e4185ecf0cf        0m7.450s

Cheers,

Joel
