This is wrong. Deleting this line means QSPI_WR_SNGL is not set and no
data is sent out on the wire.

In qspi_write_msg(), qspi->cmd will always have WLEN set to
QSPI_WLEN(t->bits_per_word) and qspi->cmd is never changed within this
function.
It is the value of local variable 'cmd' that is changed to appropriate
WLEN (128bit or 8bit) as necessary.
So, as per you example, for the first 18 transactions(16*18 = 288bytes)
'cmd' variable will have WLEN field set to 0x7F(128bit). But for the
last 12 bytes, cmd is reinitialized to (that's the line being deleted
above):

cmd = qspi->cmd | QSPI_WR_SNGL;

which means WLEN field is set 1 byte.

So the below change won't be necessary. Or am I missing something?
