The patch checks whether the Quad Enable bit is already set in the Status
Register. If so, the function exits immediately with a successful return
code.

Performance optimization I presume ?

Performance optimization is one benefit but this real purpose of the
patch is to avoid writing over and over a non-volatile bit at each boot,
actually each time spi_nor_scan() is called.
To be honest, I don't know whether internally the SPI memory is clever
enough not to perform the actual write when it sees the bit value has
not changed. I wanted to improve the memory lifetime by avoiding the
update of the bit from software just to be sure :)
Anyway, thanks for your review!

Well the bit is in some sort of internal SRAM or silicon register , no?
