[U-Boot] [PATCH] flash: Add optional verify-after-write feature

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de

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_SYS_FLASH_VERIFY_AFTER_WRITE in your board
config header.
