[PATCH] mtd: spinand: Only touch the QE bit on chips that have one

Since commit be0b86c648bf ("mtd: spinand: Gather all the bus interface
steps in one single function") spinand_init_quad_enable() is called
unconditionally and clears bit 0 of the configuration register even on
chips without SPINAND_HAS_QE_BIT. On such chips that bit can have another
meaning: on the Winbond W25N02KV it is H-DIS (Hold Disable, default 1),
and clearing it enables the /HOLD function, after which erase and program
operations silently stop taking effect on MT7986 boards.

Only program the QE bit when the chip declares SPINAND_HAS_QE_BIT, as
before.
