CopyMem() and AlignedCopyMem() have nearly identical implementations, therefore I think we can
continue using CopyMem() here.

For NorFlashWriteBuffer(), in the P30 spec, it looks like buffered programming is one of the features
of the IP whereas there is no such feature in cadence IP. So, I think there is no need for
NorFlashWriteBuffer() for Cadence controller Library.

I will push another patch in the next patchset to remove  NorFlashWriteBuffer() from the
NorFlashDeviceLib.h header file.
[SAMI] Also make NorFlashWriteBuffer() a STATIC function in P30NorFlashDeviceLib.c.
