The get_mtd_device_nm() function (code imported from Linux) simply
iterates all registered MTD devices and compares the given name with
all MTDs' names.
With SPI_FLASH_MTD enabled U-Boot registers a SPI-NOR as a MTD device
with name identical to the SPI flash chip name (from SPI ID table). Thus
for a board with multiple same SPI-NORs it registers multiple MTDs, but
all with the same name (such as "s25fl164k"). We do not want to change
this behaviour, since such a change could break existing boot scripts,
which can rely on a hardcoded name.
In order to allow somehow to uniqely select a MTD device, change
get_mtd_device_nm() function as such:
- if first character of name is '/', try interpreting it as OF path
- otherwise compare the name with MTDs name and MTDs device name.
In the following example a board has two "s25fl164k" SPI-NORs. They both
have name "s25fl164k", thus cannot be uniquely selected via this name.
With this change, the user can select the second SPI-NOR either with
"spi-nor@1" or "/soc/spi@10600/spi-nor@1".

- path: /soc/spi@10600/spi-nor@0
- type: NOR flash
- block size: 0x1000 bytes

- 0x000000000000-0x000000800000 : "s25fl164k"
