This is the drivers/mtd part of the big kfree cleanup patch.
Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in drivers/mtd/.

We've noticed that sometimes "MTD do_write_buffer(): software timeout"
message was printed out when writing to a Fujitsu NOR flash.
It turned out that this was because of a race in the timeout handling
do_write_buffer(). A small timeout of (HZ / 1000) + 1 is used there, and
sometimes if the timer interrupt handling takes more than one or even two
jiffies (which is 1-2 ms with HZ == 1000) and that interrupt happens just
after chip_ready() call, the driver bails out from a ready polling loop
despite the chip has actually become ready while all those interrupts were
handled. To deal with this issue, extra check for chip ready is neccessary on
timeout expiration (and the checks should better be reordered).
As do_write_oneword() uses the same approach, it needs to also be changed.

Modify Amd/Fujitsu CFI NOR flash primary vendor extension table revision
check to recognize version 1.4. Verified the existing driver can
handle version 1.4 chips without additional info from 1.4 extended table.
Move the primary vendor extension table revision check from common file
to the 3 CFI chip driver files, since the data structures and revisions
handled by those data structures are specific to the chip driver.
Modify the error message printed when the revision is unknown to be a
KERN_ERR instead of WARNING since this will cause mtd to ignore the chip.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
