I'm not sure I understand the comment. SNOR_PROTO_8_8_8_DTR has value 0x80808.
This method is added to cover the classical 8D-8D-8D mode and the 8D-8D-8D mode
with bytes swapped. This method will return true for both cases.

Byte swap can be done only on DTR modes. SNOR_PROTO_IS_DTR_BSWAP16
without SNOR_PROTO_IS_DTR doesn't make sense. This method includes
this sanity check.
