[PATCH v1 2/4] mtd: spi-nor: Support mixed 1S-xD-xD DTR protocols in spi_nor_spimem_setup_op()

Currently spi_nor_spimem_setup_op() sets all four phases (cmd, addr,
dummy, data) to DTR whenever spi_nor_protocol_is_dtr(proto) is true.
This is too coarse: the 1S-xD-xD DTR protocols (1_1_1_DTR, 1_2_2_DTR,
1_4_4_DTR, 1_8_8_DTR) send the command phase in STR on a single line,
and only the address, dummy and data phases in DTR. SPIMEM supports
such mixed DTR modes.

Split the handling:

  - For SNOR_PROTO_8_8_8_DTR, keep the existing behavior: set all
    phases to DTR and use a 2-byte opcode (opcode + extension).

  - For the other DTR protocols, set the command phase to STR and only
    the address, dummy and data phases to DTR. Double op->dummy.nbytes
    since DTR transfers 2 bytes per clock cycle, matching how the dummy
    cycle count is specified for these protocols.

No in-tree flash currently declares SNOR_HWCAPS_READ_1_x_x_DTR, so
this is not a bug fix but preparation for enabling these protocols.
A follow-up patch will enable 1S-4D-4D for the MX66L1G45G. The
8D-8D-8D path is unchanged.
