flash: Add optional verify-after-write feature
Sometimes it might make sense to verify the written data to NOR flash. This patch adds this feature. To enable this verify-after-write, you need to define CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY in your board config header. Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable this option if you really know what you are doing. Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
