[PATCH v2 0/2] mtd: spi-nor: Avoid setting SRWD bit in SR

Setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in the status
register (SR) with WP signal of the flash not connected will configure the
SR permanently as read-only. To avoid this a boolean type DT property
"broken-wp" is introduced. If this property is defined, the spi-nor doesn't
set the SRWD bit in SR while performing flash protection operation.

BRANCH: for-next

Changes in v2:
- Modified DT property description to add information about a
  valid use case.
- Added Reviewed-by tag in 1/2.
- Updated comment description in 2/2.
