This patch concerns the use of a "non-jedec" m25p80 device in a x86 machine.

For an x86 machine a m25p80 device has to be declared inside a BIOS ACPI table
(for example inside the SSDT or the DSDT table).

No matching problems for the jedec compatible devices, since we have the list:

static const struct of_device_id m25p_of_table[] = {
        { .compatible = "jedec,spi-nor" },
        {}
};

But for the "non-jedec" devices there are no possible matches, even if we try to
use, the SPI modalias, as:

spi:mr25h40

So it is necessary filling the m25p_of_table with all the m25p80 device names
used in the driver. This solution works both for the ACPI-style (x86) and 
the DT-style declarations (ARM).
I checked this patch with:

1) x68 board using both an SSDT and DSDT tables
2) i.MX6DL custom board using a Device Tree 

This is an example of working SSDT table for x86:

                                ,

                        })
                }
        }
}
