Boris has added a fixup function, do you think this is more better:

static int
is25lp256_post_bfpt_fixups(struct spi_nor *nor,
			    const struct sfdp_parameter_header *bfpt_header,
			    const struct sfdp_bfpt *bfpt,
			    struct spi_nor_flash_parameter *params)
{
	/*
	 * IS25LP256 supports 4B opcodes.
	 * Unfortunately, some devices get BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_ONLY  
	 * from BFPT table for address width. We should fix it.
	 */
	if (bfpt.dwords[BFPT_DWORD(1)] & BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_MASK == 
		BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_ONLY)
		nor->addr_width = 4;

	return 0;
}

static struct spi_nor_fixups is25lp256_fixups = {
	.post_bfpt = is25lp256_post_bfpt_fixups,
};
