mtd: spi-nor: remove micron_quad_enable()

This patch remove the micron_quad_enable() function which force the Quad
SPI mode. However, once this mode is enabled, the Micron memory expect ALL
commands to use the SPI 4-4-4 protocol. Hence a failure does occur when
calling spi_nor_wait_till_ready() right after the update of the Enhanced
Volatile Configuration Register (EVCR) in the micron_quad_enable() as
the SPI controller driver is not aware about the protocol change.

Since there is almost no performance increase using Fast Read 4-4-4
commands instead of Fast Read 1-1-4 commands, we rather keep on using the
Extended SPI mode than enabling the Quad SPI mode.

Let's take the example of the pretty standard use of 8 dummy cycles during
Fast Read operations on 64KB erase sectors:

Fast Read 1-1-4 requires 8 cycles for the command, then 24 cycles for the
3byte address followed by 8 dummy clock cycles and finally 65536*2 cycles
for the read data; so 131112 clock cycles.

On the other hand the Fast Read 4-4-4 would require 2 cycles for the
command, then 6 cycles for the 3byte address followed by 8 dummy clock
cycles and finally 65536*2 cycles for the read data. So 131088 clock
cycles. The theorical bandwidth increase is 0.0%.

Now using Fast Read operations on 512byte pages:
Fast Read 1-1-4 needs 8+24+8+(512*2) = 1064 clock cycles whereas Fast
Read 4-4-4 would requires 2+6+8+(512*2) = 1040 clock cycles. Hence the
theorical bandwidth increase is 2.3%.
Consecutive reads for non sequential pages is not a relevant use case so
The Quad SPI mode is not worth it.

mtd_speedtest seems to confirm these figures.
