The benefit is not massive @25MHz, yet it is a supported feature
of the chip which is already handled by a flag, so let's enable it and
earn a few % write throughput.

Before:
$ flash_speed /dev/mtd0 -dc10
eraseblock write speed is 393 KiB/s
page write speed is 391 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 391 KiB/s

After:
$ flash_speed /dev/mtd0 -dc10
eraseblock write speed is 402 KiB/s
page write speed is 400 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 400 KiB/s
