you don't understand what purpose of this patch! just as subject and commit message described,
it is for enable Micron Quad spi transfer mode.do you read the spi-nor.c file? please pay attention
to the set_quad_mode() function.by the way,I can add more commit message for it,but I think
it is redundant,don't need.
