[PATCH linux-next v2 09/14] mtd: spi-nor: configure the number of dummy clock cycles on Micron memories

The spi-nor framework currently expects all Fast Read operations to use 8
dummy clock cycles. Especially some drivers like m25p80 can only support
multiple of 8 dummy clock cycles.

On Micron memories, the number of dummy clock cycles to be used by Fast
Read commands can be safely set to 8 by updating the Volatile
Configuration Register (VCR).

Also the XIP bit is set at the same time when updating the VCR so the
Continuous Read mode is disabled: this prevents us from entering it by
mistake.
