Hi Cédric, Thanks for the patches. Indeed, 4BA is a feature that we've been looking at for a while. I'll look forward to reviewing these patches in detail.
There are a few cases that need to be considered: - Chips which have a command to switch to 4BA mode - Chips which have a parallel instruction set for use with 4BA. - Chips that exclusively use 4BA commands.
I tried to cover the first two cases in my patch: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/323359/ The third case was brought to our attention by Tim Chick: http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/4437/
Hopefully we can come up with a good solution for all cases.

Hi,
Here's an old patchset proposed a while ago by Boris Baykov to add 4byte support to flashrom. I have been using it to flash N25Q256 modules from a raspberry pi quite successfully. Could we restart a review cycle to see what needs fixing ?
A port of the complete patchset on 0.9.9 is available here :
