mtd: spi-nor: Add documentation for spi_nor_soft_reset()

Document what the function does and that it should only be used when it
is known that the device supports it. This will avoid unaware
programmers thinking that they can arbitrarily use it to reset the
device.

* spi_nor_soft_reset() - Perform a software reset
* @nor: pointer to 'struct spi_nor'
*
* Performs a "Soft Reset and Enter Default Protocol Mode" sequence which resets
* the device to its power-on-reset state. This is useful when the software has
* made some changes to device (volatile) registers and needs to reset it before
* shutting down, for example.
*
* Not every flash supports this sequence. The same set of opcodes might be used
* for some other operation on a flash that does not support this. Support for
* this sequence can be discovered via SFDP in the BFPT table.
*
* Return: 0 on success, -errno otherwise.
