    sf: Drop spl_flash_get_sw_write_prot · f12f96cf

    The get_sw_write_prot API is used to get the write-protected
    bits of flash by reading the status register and other wards
    it's API for reading register bits.
    
    1) This kind of requirement can be achieved using existing
       flash operations and flash locking API calls instead of
       making a separate flash API.
    2) Technically there is no real hardware user for this API to
       use in the source tree.
    3) Having a flash operations API for simple register read bits
       also make difficult to extend the flash operations.
    4) Instead of touching generic code, it is possible to have
       this functionality inside spinor operations in the form of
       flash hooks or fixups for associated flash chips.
    
    Considering all these points, this patch drops the get_sw_write_prot
    and associated code bases.
