[U-Boot] [PATCH resend 5/7] mtd/st_smi: Write to flash in a tight loop

The write loop is checking for dest_addr alignment with page size. This
sometimes leads to smi controller coming out of write mode and eventually the
next write failing with ERF1 being set.

To avoid this, write to flash in a tight loop and write bytewise to also support
not word aligned data bytes to be written. Additionally, enable burst mode
before this loop so that the controller does not deselect the chip if the
transfer is finished.
