The spi_nor_write_16bit_sr_and_check function description describes that
the function compares the value of the status and config registers after
the write. However the function does not implement the status register
compare only the config register check.
This causes the function to differ in behaviour to the equivalent
spi_nor_write_sr1_and_check for non-16bit writes to the status register.
This is important as other functions rely on the return code of
spi_nor_write_sr_and_check. For example spi_nor_sr_unlock returns the
result directly, which is returned to userspace such that failing to
unlock the spi-nor device was resulting in a return code of 0 instead of
the expected non-zero indicating the failure.

This patch seems exactly like [0]. I will pick that one if it applies on
the current tree since it already has one Reviewed-by.
