You say 'support more devices', but AFAICT the code in -rc1 will already
*attempt* to enable 4-byte addressing on those devices, and fail.

(It looks like set_4byte() can return failure, but its return code isn't
checked, and anyway it's only a SPI write so there's no feedback from
the *chip* if it fails due to lack of WREN; it can only indicate failure
if the SPI connection falls over.)

So I'm inclined to think of it as a bug fix and include it.
