when SNOR_F_NO_READ_CR is not set, I read the Status Register 2 on the next line:

when SNOR_F_NO_READ_CR is set and nor->flash.quad_enable != NULL, Status
Register 2 (CR) is equal to CR_QUAD_EN_SPAN.

if SNOR_F_NO_READ_CR is set and nor->flash.quad_enable == NULL we don't need to
enable Quad Mode, so Status Register 2 is 0.
