The Macronix mx25l25635e has no 4-byte address op codes. Instead you can
use the EN4B (enter 4-byte mode) B7h op code to make the memory enter its
4-byte mode: hence you still write one of the 3-byte address op code but now
this op code is followed by a 4-byte address.
Currently the spi-nor framework uses this EN4B op code for all but Spansion
memories. However entering this 4-byte mode is statefull.
For the Macronix 35e won't be able to use the 4-byte address instruction set
and we will keep on entering the 4-byte mode.

The idea behind the patch is to use the 4-byte address instruction set when
we are absolutely sure this set is supported by a given memory but keep the
current behaviour for other memories.

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean or suggest here!
