    Use struct flashctx instead of struct flashchip for flash chip access · 63fd9026

    Struct flashchip is used only for the flashchips array and for
    operations which do not access hardware, e.g. printing a list of
    supported flash chips.
    
    struct flashctx (flash context) contains all data available in
    struct flashchip, but it also contains runtime information like
    mapping addresses. struct flashctx is expected to grow additional
    members over time, a prime candidate being programmer info.
    struct flashctx contains all of struct flashchip with identical
    member layout, but struct flashctx has additional members at the end.
    
    The separation between struct flashchip/flashctx shrinks the memory
    requirement of the big flashchips array and allows future extension
    of flashctx without having to worry about bloat.
