I see. Then extending the if condition should do the trick, as
spi_nor_write_16bit_sr_and_check() is called after setup. Something
like:

if (spi_nor_get_protocol_width(nor->read_proto) == 4 &&
    spi_nor_get_protocol_width(nor->write_proto) == 4 &&
    nor->params->quad_enable)

Is this what Hsin-Yi is hitting?
