No it is not. If you look inside spi_nor_octal_dtr_enable() and 
spi_nor_quad_enable(), they both are a no-op if the protocol does not 
match. spi_nor_quad_enable() was already doing it this way so I made 
spi_nor_octal_dtr_enable() follow suit. So this is effectively an 
if-else on the value of nor->read_proto. I don't think an explicit one 
is needed.
