Sanjaikumar V S 880c87d784 mtd: spi-nor: sst: Fix write enable before AAI sequence
[ Upstream commit a0f64241d3566a49c0a9b33ba7ae458ae22003a9 ]

When writing to SST flash starting at an odd address, a single byte is
first programmed using the byte program (BP) command. After this
operation completes, the flash hardware automatically clears the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit.

If an AAI (Auto Address Increment) word program sequence follows, it
requires WEL to be set. Without re-enabling writes, the AAI sequence
fails.

Add spi_nor_write_enable() after the odd-address byte program when more
data needs to be written. Use a local boolean for clarity.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
