[ Upstream commit 17926cd770 ]

On Octal DTR capable flashes like Micron Xcella the writes cannot start
or end at an odd address in Octal DTR mode. Extra 0xff bytes need to be
appended or prepended to make sure the start address and end address are
even. 0xff is used because on NOR flashes a program operation can only
flip bits from 1 to 0, not the other way round. 0 to 1 flip needs to
happen via erases.

[ Resolve conflict in drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c.
  In spi_nor_write(), the spi_nor_lock_device() and
  spi_nor_unlock_device() mechanism was not yet introduced in 6.1.y.
  Drop the spi_nor_unlock_device() call from the patch. ]
