You're right. Maybe we can simplify things by having a single function
that does optional steps based on new flags

SPI_NOR_EN_EX_4B_NEEDS_WEN
SPI_NOR_CLEAR_EAR_ON_4B_EXIT

This should probably be done in a separate patch though, so ack on the
spi_nor_en_ex_4byte_addr_mode() rename, assuming we also change the
bool argument name to enter.

Hm, not sure that's a good idea to insert WEN instructions for
everyone, sounds like a recipe for regressions.

In theory yes, but you know flash chips are capricious, so let's not
take the risk of breaking things :-).
