The idea to have the intel-spi driver dependent on EXPERT was exactly
because we did not want ordinary users playing with the device and
inadvertently overwrite their BIOSes (if it is not protected). This
seems to be superfluous hence remove it.

Applied to the spi-nor/next branch of l2-mtd (reworked a little bit
since the original patch depends on "spi-nor: intel-spi: Fix Kconfig
dependency to LPC_ICH", see below).

Thanks!
