Right now we perform direct pointer manipulation without any abstraction
to read from and write to memory mapped flash chips. That makes it
impossible to drive any flasher which does not mmap the whole chip.

Using helper functions readb() and writeb() allows a driver for external
flash programmers like Paraflasher to replace readb and writeb with
calls to its own chip access routines.

This patch has the additional advantage of removing lots of unnecessary
casts to volatile uint8_t * and now-superfluous parentheses which caused
poor readability.

I used the semantic patcher Coccinelle to create this patch. The
semantic patch follows:
@@
expression a;
typedef uint8_t;
volatile uint8_t *b;
@@
- *(b) = (a);
+ writeb(a, b);
@@
volatile uint8_t *b;
@@
- *(b)
+ readb(b)
@@
type T;
T b;
@@
(
 readb
|
 writeb
)
 (...,
- (T)
- (b)
+ b
 )

In contrast to a sed script, the semantic patch performs type checking
before converting anything.

The first byte of the flash chip was read at the start of the function
and later written back to address 0 if the flash chip was not identified
as SST28SF040, which means most of the time. This write caused corruption
of flash contents when verifying a SST49LF160C part.

* Give decent names to virt_addr and virt_addr_2
* add some comments
* move virtual addresses to the end of the struct,
  so they dont mess up the initializer.

Some minor fixups were required, and maybe a few more cosmetic
changes are needed.
