Why not fixing that in the new driver?

Are you sure the 4 I/O lines are wired on your design? Anyway, if it's
a bug that only hurts vf610, you should mask quad modes in ->hwcaps (or
patch fsl_qspi_supports_op() in the new driver), not change the SPI NOR
definition.

I'm not denying this fact, I'm just saying, now that you've found where
the issue comes from, you can also port the fix to the new driver.
