The address byte count for the current addressing mode is defined as
params->addr_nbytes. The params->addr_mode_nbytes tracks flash's internal
addressing mode and is not used in octal DDR mode.

Are there any problems if we don't do this?

This doesn't work in case flash's internal address mode is 4.
