mfd: lpc_ich: Do not touch SPI-NOR write protection bit on Haswell/Broadwell
At least on Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, the BIOS seems to monitor the SPI-NOR write protection bit and if it is flipped to read/write it assumes the BIOS configuration was changed on next reboot. It then, for unknown reasons, resets the BIOS settings back to default. We can prevent this by just leaving the write protection bit intact and let the SPI-NOR driver know whether the device is writable or not. In case of this particular Lenovo the SPI-NOR flash will be exposed as read-only.
