Patches 1 - 14 are just clean up patches for the Flash Register
Operations.

Patches 15 - 21 deal with the Quad Enable and the (un)lock methods.
Fixed the clearing of QE bit on (un)lock() operations. Reworked the
Quad Enable methods and the disabling of the block write protection
at power-up.

Patch 22 adds Global Block Unlock support as an optimization for
unlocking the entire memory array. Patch 23 uses it in sst26vf064b.

This is just compile tested, I don't have a relevant spansion-like
flash memory to test the (un)lock() methods.

The patch set can be tested using mtd-utils:
1/ do a read-erase-write-read-back test immediately after boot, to check
the spi_nor_unlock_all() method
	mtd_debug read /dev/mtd-yours offset size read-file
	hexdump read-file
	mtd_debug erase /dev/mtd-yours offset size
	dd if=/dev/urandom of=write-file bs=please-choose count=please-choose
	mtd_debug write /dev/mtd-yours offset write-file-size write-file
	mtd_debug read /dev/mtd-yours offset write-file-size read-file
	sha1sum read-file write-file
2/ lock flash then try to erase/write it, to see if the lock works
	flash_lock /dev/mtd-yours offset block-count
	read-erase/write-read-back test
3/ unlock flash and do a read-erase-write-read-back to check if the QE
bit was not cleared.

Thanks,
ta
