RE: [RFC] spi-nor: fix cross die reads on Micron multi-die devices

[Bean Huo éææ (beanhuo)]

 Hi, Adam and Boris

For Micron MT25Q ,MT25T and MT35Q, they does not exist this action even they are
Multi-die devices. So when the last byte of the die selected is read, the next byte output
is the first byte of next die(not the same die). 
You can check this by extended address register chapter in our datasheet, there are detail
Information.
