It should be a common issue, I will CC stable in v2 and try to upstream ISSI
drivers.

Single-lane is the most basic op - if the QE set_feature write fails, the link
is broken and single-lane won't work anyway. And falling back needs the vendor's
own 1S op stored somewhere, but those variant tables are discarded after probe.
So it likely requires refactoring struct spinand_device to cache them. Given that,
maybe just keep the current return-error implementation.
