[PATCH v1] mtd: spi-nor: unset quad_enable if SFDP doesn't specify it

While the first version of JESD216 specify the opcode for 4 bit I/O
accesses, it lacks information on how to actually enable this mode.

For now, the one set in spi_nor_init_default_params() will be used.
But this one is likely wrong for some flashes, in particular the
Macronix MX25L12835F. Thus we need to clear the enable method when
parsing the SFDP. Flashes with such an SFDP revision will have to use a
flash (and SFDP revision) specific fixup.

This might break quad I/O for some flashes which relied on the
spi_nor_sr2_bit1_quad_enable() that was formerly set. If your bisect
turns up this commit, you'll probably have to set the proper
quad_enable method in a post_bfpt() fixup for your flash.

changes since RFC:
 - reworded commit message
 - added comment about post_bfpt hook

Tudor, I'm not sure what you meant with
  Maybe you can update the commit message and explain why would some
  flashes fail to enable quad mode, similar to what I did.

It doesn't work because the wrong method is chosen? ;)
