[Skiboot] [RFC PATCH 1/2] libflash: don't use the low level interface if it doesn't exist

During init libflash calls low level functions without checking.

libflash states to backends that if they implement all the higher level
functions the lower level functions are optional (from libflash-priv.h):
  If all functions of the high level interface are
  implemented then the low level one is optional. A
  controller can implement some of the high level one
  in which case the missing ones will be handled by
  libflash using the low level interface.
