[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: intel-spi: Simulate WRDI command

[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: intel-spi: Simulate WRDI command

[Alexander Sverdlin]

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@nokia.com>

After spi_nor_write_disable() return code checks were introduced in the
spi-nor front end intel-spi backend stopped to work because WRDI was never
supported and always failed.

Just pretend it was sucessful and ignore the command itself. HW sequencer
shall do the right thing automatically, while with SW sequencer we cannot
do it anyway, because the only tool we had was preopcode and it makes no
sense for WRDI.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: bce679e5ae3a ("mtd: spi-nor: Check for errors after each Register Operation")

                           ^^^^^^^^
Typo, should be sequencer.

Otherwise looks good to me.

It looks good to me too. Should I add your R-b tag when applying?
I can fix the typo.
