Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: clear Extended Address Reg on switch to 3-byte addressing.
According to section
8.2.7 Write Extended Address Register (C5h)
of the Winbond W25Q256FV data sheet (256M-BIT SPI flash)
The Extended Address Register is only effective when the device is
in the 3-Byte Address Mode. When the device operates in the 4-Byte
Address Mode (ADS=1), any command with address input of A31-A24
will replace the Extended Address Register values. It is
recommended to check and update the Extended Address Register if
necessary when the device is switched from 4-Byte to 3-Byte Address
Mode.
This patch adds code to implement that recommendation. Without this,
my GNUBEE-PC1 will not successfully reboot, as the Extended Address
Register is left with a value of '1'. When the SOC attempts to read
(in 3-byte address mode) the boot loader, it reads from the wrong
location.
