IMHO, it's not a good for system booting from SPI-NOR,
driver should still keep system alive in SPI 1-1-1 mode in case of
enable Octal/Quad failed.

Therefore, my patches is to setup nor->read/write_proto = 8 in case
driver enable Octal mode is success. And to enable Octal mode in
spi_nor_late_init_params()rather than as spi_nor_quad_enable()did.
