[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: allow NOR driver to write fewer bytes than requested

[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: allow NOR driver to write fewer bytes than requested

[Felix Fietkau]

The write size can be constrained by the maximum message/transfer size
of the SPI controller. Only check for ret = 0 to avoid an infinite loop.
