chipset_enable.c: Disable SPI on ICH7 if booted from LPC

Commit 92d6a86 ("Refactor Intel Chipset Enables") eliminated a check
to disable SPI when ICH7 has booted from LPC, as the hardware does not
support it. Therefore, when flashrom probes the SPI bus, it times out
waiting for the hardware to react, for each and every SPI flash chip.
This results in very long delays and countless instances of the error:

Error: SCIP never cleared!

To prevent this, bring back part of the lost check. Probing for LPC and
FWH when booted from SPI does not seem to cause any problems on desktop
mainboards with ICH7, so don't disable LPC nor FWH if that is the case.

Tested on ECS 945G-M4 (ICH7, boots from LPC), works without errors.
