[PATCH 1/2] mtd: spi-nor: sst: Fix write enable before AAI sequence

[Sanjaikumar V S]

When writing to SST flash starting at an odd address, a single byte is
first programmed using the byte program (BP) command. After this
operation completes, the flash hardware automatically clears the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit.

If an AAI (Auto Address Increment) word program sequence follows, it
requires WEL to be set. Without re-enabling writes, the AAI sequence
fails.

Add spi_nor_write_enable() after the odd-address byte program, but only
when an AAI sequence will follow (len > 2 bytes remaining).
