[PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: mtd: jedec,spi-nor: Add disable-quad-mode property

Some flash devices, eg. gd25lq64c, enable quad mode by default after
spi_nor_parse_bfpt(). However, the systems using these flash devices may
required the quad mode to be turned off for using write protection or to
avoid a potential short issue[1].

Add a disable-quad-mode property in devicetree that system can use it to
override the quad mode status parsed from BFPT.
