While we are at this part, I've encountered another issue:

The chip supports 1-1-1, 1-1-4 and 1-4-4 write OPs in extended SPI mode,
while only 1-1-0 erase. (as well as 4-4-4/4-4-0, but that's not the issue here,
I think).

Now the erase code (chip/sector) uses spi_nor_spimem_setup_op(nor, &op, nor->write_proto)
in both functions.

In my opinion, as I look into Micron or Macronix datasheets, write_proto has little to
do with erase_proto. (there is currently no separate erase_proto)

Before I come up with a totally wrong patch, wanted to ask your opinion, how should
it be solved, what do you think?

I do not see any erase-related tables for this in JESD216C.
I also cannot come up with an example of a chip with erase != 1-1-0.

Shall I hardcode 1-1-0 for erase?
Shall I introduce erase_proto? What would be the logic for its setting/discovery?
