This is not true for all the n25q256a flashes. SPINOR_OP_PP_4B, 
SPINOR_OP_BE_4K_4B and SPINOR_OP_SE_4B are valid just for the part numbers 
N25Q256A83ESF40x, N25Q256A83E1240x, and N25Q256A83ESFA0F.

You need to differentiate between the aforementioned flashes and the rest in 
the n25q256a, in order to add the 4-byte opcodes flag.

Cheers,
ta
