[PATCH v14 5/8] mtd: spi-nor: core: Couple the number of address bytes with the address mode

Some of Infineon chips support volatile version of configuration registers
and it is recommended to update volatile registers in the field application
due to a risk of the non-volatile registers corruption by power interrupt.
Such a volatile configuration register is used to enable the Quad mode.
The register write sequence requires the number of bytes of address in
order to be programmed. As it was before, the nor->addr_nbytes was set to 4
before calling the volatile Quad enable method. This was incorrect because
the Write Any Register command does not have a 4B opcode equivalent and the
address mode was still at default (3-byte mode) and not changed to 4 by
entering in the 4 Byte Address Mode, so the operation failed.

Move the setting of the number of bytes of address after the Quad Enable
method to allow reads or writes to registers that require the number of
address bytes to work with the default address mode. The number of address
bytes and the address mode are tightly coupled, this is a natural change.

Other (standard) Quad Enable methods are not affected, as they don't
require the number of address bytes, so no functionality changes expected.
