brcm63xx: remove misleading warning about partial SPI NOR writes

The warning will be triggered by jffs2 or UBI, and partial writes are no
issue for most flash chips.

+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: remove WARN_ONCE() message in spi_nor_write()
+
+This patch removes the WARN_ONCE() test in spi_nor_write().
+This macro triggers the display of a warning message almost every time we
+use a UBI file-system because a write operation is performed at offset 64,
+which is in the middle of the SPI NOR memory page. This is a valid
+operation for ubifs.
+
+Hence this warning is pretty annoying and useless so we just remove it.
