[PATCH v5 06/10] mtd: spi-nor: simplify write loop

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com>]

The spi-nor write loop assumes that what is passed to the hardware
driver write() is what gets written.

When write() writes less than page size at once data is dropped on the
floor. Check the amount of data writen and exit if it does not match
requested amount.

 - add warning when writing incomplete pages
 - refuse to continue writing when full page was not written
