mtd-physmap: add support users can assign the probe type in board files
There are three reasons to add this support: 1. users probably know the interface type of their flashs, then probe can be faster if they give the right type in platform data since wrong types will not be detected. 2. sometimes, detecting can cause destory to system. For example, for kernel XIP, detecting can cause NOR enter a mode instructions can not be fetched right, which will make kernel crash. 3. For a new probe which is not listed in the rom_probe_types, if users assign it in board files, physmap can still probe it.
