Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] mtd: spi-nor: Disable Micron flash HW protection

From: Yunhui Cui <yunhui.cui@....com>

For Micron family ,The status register write enable/disable bit,
provides hardware data protection for the device.
When the enable/disable bit is set to 1, the status register
nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
operation will not execute.
