Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] mtd: spi-nor: improve macronix_quad_enable()

The patch checks whether the Quad Enable bit is already set in the Status
Register. If so, the function exits immediately with a successful return
code. Otherwise, a message is now printed telling we're setting the
non-volatile bit.
