Subject: [PATCH next] mtd: maps: physmap: Fix infinite loop crash in ROM type probing

On Toshiba RBTX4927, where map_probe is supposed to fail:

Creating 2 MTD partitions on "physmap-flash.0":
0x000000c00000-0x000001000000 : "boot"
0x000000000000-0x000000c00000 : "user"
physmap-flash physmap-flash.1: physmap platform flash device: [mem 0x1e000000-0x1effffff]
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 80320f40, ra == 80321004
...
Call Trace:
[<80320f40>] get_mtd_chip_driver+0x30/0x8c
[<80321004>] do_map_probe+0x20/0x90
[<80328448>] physmap_flash_probe+0x484/0x4ec

The access to rom_probe_types[] was changed from a sentinel-based loop
to an infinite loop, causing a crash when reaching the sentinel.

Fix this by:
- Removing the no longer needed sentinel,
- Limiting the number of loop iterations to the actual number of ROM
types.

Fixes: c7afe08496fa463e ("mtd: maps: physmap: Invert logic on if/else branch")

Oops. Do you mind if I fix that in-place (squash your changes in
Ricardo's original commit)?
