After this operation completes, the flash hardware automatically clears the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. If an AAI (Auto Address Increment) word program sequence follows, it requires WEL to be set. Without re-enabling writes, the AAI sequence fails. Add spi_nor_write_enable() after the odd-address byte program when more data needs to be written. Use a local boolean for clarity.
