I meant I remove the table too, a hidden "table" would still be generated
by the compiler in the assembly code to translate the switch statement:

static u8 spi_nor_3to4_opcode(u8 3byte_address_opcode)
{
	#define CASE_3TO4(_opcode)	case _opcode: return _opcode##_4B
	
	switch (3_byte_address_opcode) {
	/* Without macro. */
	case SPINOR_OP_PP:
		return SPINOR_OP_PP_4B;

	case SPINOR_OP_READ:
		return SPINOR_OP_READ_4B;

	case SPINOR_OP_READ_FAST:
		return SPINOR_OP_READ_FAST_4B;

	/* With macro. */
	CASE_3TO4(SPINOR_OP_READ_FAST);

	default:
		break;
	}

	/* No conversion found */
	return opcode;
}

For readiness, I don't whether people prefer the version with macro or the
version without. Just tell me :)

Of course with the switch statement I no longer need the struct
spi_nor_address_entry.

Also for now I don't need a 4TO3 translation.
