The library's MODULE_TYPE and the module type restrictions it
defines are needlessly strict. Just change the library to BASE
type and drop the restrictions entirely. Also, drop a bogus
library dependency on DxeServicesLib.

The SPI NOR flash drivers which base on ArmPlatformPkg's
NorFlashDxe usually make use of static declarations of the
flash instances with their type and parameters. As a result
it implies hardcoding the exact way of flash handling, not to
mention the code does not look very nice. Much better solution
would be obtaining the flash ID and hence its description
in runtime.
JEDEC compliant SPI NOR devices allow to obtain their IDs with
READ_ID command (0x9f), which should return the vendor ID byte,
followed by 2 to 4 following device ID bytes. Use this capability
for implementing a NorFlashInfoLib that gives an access to the
NOR flash description data, such as name, page size, sector
(block) size and others, of more than 50 different models.
The new library user should pass an output array from issuing
READ_ID command to the NorFlashGetInfo () routine - if the
match is found, an allocated (optionally for RT) pool with
the flash description copy will be returned.
