Performance optimization is one benefit but this real purpose of the
patch is to avoid writing over and over a non-volatile bit at each boot,
actually each time spi_nor_scan() is called.

To be honest, I don't know whether internally the SPI memory is clever
enough not to perform the actual write when it sees the bit value has
not changed. I wanted to improve the memory lifetime by avoiding the
update of the bit from software just to be sure :)

Anyway, thanks for your review!
