Hmm, I will move the ti_qspi_disable_memory_map() call to
ti_qspi_start_transfer_one(), so that mmap mode is disabled only when
normal SPI bus transfer is requested. Further, "mmap_enabled" status
flag can be used to determine whether mode switch is required or not.
This should help to overcome enabling and disabling memory mapping
between successive mmap read requests.
