Without this patch, spi_nor_write_16bit_sr_and_check() only check the
second half of the 16bit. It causes errors like spi_nor_sr_unlock()
return success incorrectly when spi_nor_write_16bit_sr_and_check()
doesn't write SR successfully.

Looks good to me. spi_nor_write_16bit_cr_and_check() also checks
the SR1 and the function doc also mentions it will check it - although
it doesn't.

Out of curiosity, on what flash did you discover this?
