mtd: spi-nor: gigadevice: Add support for GigaDevice GD25B512
This commit adds a flash_info entry for the GigaDevice GD25B512 64 MiB SPI
NOR flash with Status Register locking enabled.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this entry also set SPI_NOR_4BIT_BP in .flags?
The GD25B512 is a 64 MiB flash (1024 64 KiB blocks) that uses four Block
Protect bits (BP3:0 in Status Register 1 bits 5:2) to address its block
protection ranges. Without SPI_NOR_4BIT_BP, spi_nor_get_sr_bp_mask()
omits SR_BP3, so spi_nor_sr_lock() and spi_nor_get_min_prot_length_sr()
miscalculate protected ranges by a factor of 16 (locking the full chip
only protects 4 MiB), and spi_nor_try_unlock_all() or spi_nor_sr_unlock()
cannot detect or clear SR_BP3 if it is set.
