4BA: Support for new direct-4BA instructions + W25Q256.V update
Large flash chips usually support special instructions to work with
4-bytes address directly from 3-bytes addressing mode and without
do switching to 4-bytes mode. There are 13h (4BA Read), 12h (4BA Program)
and 21h,5Ch,DCh (4BA Erase), correspondingly. However not all these
instructions are supported by all large flash chips. Some chips
support 13h only, some 13h,12h,21h and DCh, but not 5Ch. This depends
on the manufacturer of the chip.
This patch provides code to use direct 4-bytes addressing instructions.
This code should work but it tested partially only. My W25Q256FV has
support for 4BA_Read (13h), but doesn't have support 4BA_Program (12h)
and 4BA_Erase instructions. So, direct 4BA program and erase
should be tested after.
