In order to support device tree probing of IXP4xx NOR flash chips, a certain big-endian or mixed-endian memory access pattern need to be used. I have opted to use the pattern set by previous plug-ins to physmap for Gemini and Versatile, just override some functions and reuse most of the physmap core code as it is to minimize maintenance. Parts of drivers/mtd/ixp4xx.c are copied into this file. After we have IXP4xx converted fully to device tree, the drivers/mtd/ixp4xx.c file will be deleted and this will be the only access pattern to the IXP4xx flash. I did not keep the quirk in the flash write function after probe, where the old code for a while checks for access to odd addresses, fails and assigns a "faster" write function once it has convinced probe to only use 2-byte accesses. As we mandate that this device should be using bank-width = <2> this should not be a problem unless misconfigured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
