Currently, for sure reg_proto and read_proto are independent. Let's take
Spansion memories as an example:
- Fast Read Quad Data 0x6B uses SPI 1-1-4
- register accesses (read/write) use SPI 1-1-1

AFAIK, Quad IO write commands are not used yet but if one day they are, for
instance with Macronix memories (QPI mode disabled):
- 4x I/O Page Program 0x38 uses SPI 1-1-4
- register accesses (read/write) uses SPI 1-1-1
- Fast Read Quad I/O 0xEB uses SPI 1-4-4
- Sector Erase 0x20 uses SPI 1-1-1

For now, I don't have any example where erase_proto is different from
reg_proto but for clarity reasons I'd rather keep erase_proto and reg_proto
distinct. Otherwise both field should be renamed as it looks odd to use
reg_proto when implementing the nor->erase() hook, doesn't it?

The names were chosen according to both the *_opcode and hooks from the
struct spi_nor:

hook           op code          protocol
read_reg()     N/A              reg_proto
write_reg()    N/A              reg_proto
read()         read_opcode      read_proto
write()        program_opcode   write_proto
erase()        erase_opcode     erase_proto

I admit following this logic 'program_opcode' should be renamed
'write_opcode'.

It looks good to me so I'll change for that :)
