Jakub Czapiga 5008c3ec3f mtd: spi-nor: core: Check read CR support
Some SPI controllers like Intel's one on the PCI bus do not support
opcode 35h. This opcode is used to read the Configuration Register on
SPI-NOR chips that have 16-bit Status Register configured regardless
of the controller support for it. Adding a check call in the setup step
allows disabling use of the 35h opcode and falling back to the manual
Status Registers management.

Before:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/mtd0", O_RDWR)   = 4
ioctl(4, MIXER_WRITE(6) or MEMUNLOCK, {start=0, length=0x2000000}) = -1
EOPNOTSUPP

After:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/mtd0", O_RDWR)   = 4
ioctl(4, MIXER_WRITE(6) or MEMUNLOCK, {start=0, length=0x2000000}) = 0
ioctl(4, MIXER_WRITE(5) or MEMLOCK, {start=0x1800000, length=0x800000}) = 0
