What does changing the impedance do? Does it improve latency? If we use 
suboptimal impedance, will the flash still keep working correctly?

In other words, you need to justify why this patch is needed.

Are you always guaranteed to be in 1S-1S-1S mode during register write?

I would suggest calling spi_nor_spimem_setup_op() before this so that it 
sets up all the buswidths correctly based on nor->reg_proto.

Split into 2 lines?

Check return code.

Same as above.

This is a bit confusing. Can you instead do:

if (evcrr < 0)
	return evcrr;

...

Don't use magic numbers. Define a bitmask, preferably using GENMASK().

Check return code. Do we need to abort flash probe if this fails, or can 
we live with it, despite the suboptimal impedance?

NACK. Not every Micron flash has the EVCR register. For example, the 
Micron MT35 flash family does not have an EVCR and the output drive 
strength is programmed in a separate register. Set this only for the 
flashes that need this.
