Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mtd: spi-nor: Avoid setting SRWD bit in SR if WP# signal not connected

Setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in the status
register (SR) with WP# signal of the flash left floating or wrongly tied to
GND (that includes internal pull-downs), will configure the SR permanently
as read-only. If WP# signal is left floating or wrongly tied to GND, avoid
setting SRWD bit while writing the SR during flash protection.

Please put it below the of_property_read_bool() which is already
there, just to keep things sorted.

See the comment right above this enum :/

nit: space missing

Otherwise looks good.

Thanks, Michael.

Amit, would be good if you can address Michael's comments and
resubmit. If not, I'll amend the patch by myself when applying.
