Commit b2a2a84d35e0f42ad26e326ec4258f6a8b8eecbe (mtd: phram: dot not crash when
built-in and passing boot param) claims to be "based on Ville Herva's similar
patch to block2mtd" (c4e7fb313771ac03dfdca26d30e8b721731c562b), but it has
missed the crucial point of the original path: all these "if(n)def MODULE".
It has broken the possibility to create several phram instances when phram is
compiled as module. The possibility to add instances via /sys writes to
/sys/module/phram/parameters/phram was also broken with mentioned patch.
Proposed patch takes the idea of original block2mtd patch to its full extent.
Assumption "This function is always called before 'init_phram()'" was also
incorrect, so removed the comment. This patch effectively reverts also
b11ec57fc6e6d4882ef01a0c09a1dde58f50492e (mtd: phram: fix section mismatch for
phram_setup).

phram was 32-bit limited by design. Machines are growing up, but phram
module is still useful. Update it. The patch is bigger than minimum,
because simple_strtoul() is obsolete.

Tested on MIPS64 and compile-tested for PPC (32 bit).

phram_setup() is only called from init_phram() which is in .init.text,
so it must be in the same section to avoid a section mismatch warning.

This patch is based on Ville Herva's similar patch to block2mtd.

Trying to pass a parameter through the kernel command line when built-in would
crash the kernel, as phram_setup() was called so early that kmalloc() was not
functional yet.

This patch only saves the parameter string at the early boot stage, and parses
it later when init_phram() is called. The same happens in both module and
built-in cases.

With this patch, I can boot with a statically-compiled phram, and mount a
ext2 root fs from physical RAM, without the need for a initrd.

This has been tested in built-in and module cases, with and without a
parameter string.

Artem: amended comments a bit

Some MTD drivers return -EINVAL if the 'phys' parameter is not NULL, trying to
convey that they cannot return the physical address. However, this is not very
logical because they still can return the virtual address ('virt'). But some
drivers (lpddr) just ignore the 'phys' parameter instead, which is a more
logical thing to do.

Let's harmonize this and:

1. Always initialize 'virt' and 'phys' to 'NULL' in 'mtd_point()'.
2. Do not return an error if the physical address cannot be found.

So as a result, all drivers will set 'phys' to 'NULL' if it is not supported.
None of the 'mtd_point()' users use 'phys' anyway, so this should not break
anything. I guess we could also just delete this parameter later.

duplicated '*retlen = 0' assignent from the following methods:

    'mtd_read()'

Many drivers check whether the partition is R/O and return -EROFS if yes.
Let's stop having duplicated checks and move them to the API functions
instead.

And again a bit of noise - deleted few too sparse newlines, sorry.
