mtd: spi-nor: Rework the disabling of block write protection
spi_nor_unlock() unlocks blocks of memory or the entire flash memory
array, if requested. clear_sr_bp() unlocks the entire flash memory
array at boot time. This calls for some unification, clear_sr_bp() is
just an optimization for the case when the unlock request covers the
entire flash size.

Get rid of clear_sr_bp() and introduce spi_nor_unlock_all(), which is
just a call to spi_nor_unlock() for the entire flash memory array.
This fixes a bug that was present in spi_nor_spansion_clear_sr_bp().
When the QE bit was zero, we used the Write Status (01h) command with
one data byte, which might cleared the Status Register 2. We now always
use the Write Status (01h) command with two data bytes when
SNOR_F_HAS_16BIT_SR is set, to avoid clearing the Status Register 2.

The SNOR_F_NO_READ_CR case is treated as well. When the flash doesn't
support the CR Read command, we make an assumption about the value of
the QE bit. In spi_nor_init(), call spi_nor_quad_enable() first, then
spi_nor_unlock_all(), so that at the spi_nor_unlock_all() time we can
be sure the QE bit has value one, because of the previous call to
spi_nor_quad_enable().

Get rid of the MFR handling and implement specific manufacturer
default_init() fixup hooks.

Note that this changes a bit the logic for the SNOR_MFR_ATMEL,
SNOR_MFR_INTEL and SNOR_MFR_SST cases. Before this patch, the Atmel,
Intel and SST chips did not set the locking ops, but unlocked the entire
flash at boot time, while now they are setting the locking ops to
stm_locking_ops. This should work, since the disable of the block
protection at the boot time used the same Status Register bits to unlock
the flash, as in the stm_locking_ops case.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
