Document support for the Micron MT25QU256A and MT25QU512A Serial NOR
FLASHes.

Merge the new entries with the existing entry for MT25QU02G.

mt25qu512a is already in active use, causing "make dtbs_check" errors.
mt25qu256a is supported by the Linux spi-nor driver, but there are no
upstream users yet.

Is it encouraged to use the specific compatible with SPI-NOR flashes?
As far as I know it isn't. The spi-nor subsys tries hard to identify
any flashes at runtime and any additional information in the device tree
is used as a last resort (just for flashes which doesn't support the
read jedec id command yet). And usually boards have different sources
for flash chips, so hardcoding a particular part in the device tree
doesn't make sense.

just my 2 cents,
