Indeed, in my experience the extended address enable got reset between
commands, so the follow-up patch forced that chip to use native 4BA access
mode. The patches were also based on the old 4BA access methods, so they
will need to be updated to work with the new way. At the very least I think
this means adding SPI_MASTER_4BA in spi_master_dediprog, but there's likely
some other stuff I'm overlooking.
