We need to track the flash's internal address mode as there are flashes
that can operate with 4B opcodes but unfortunately do not have a 4B opcode
correspondent for all the 3B opcodes. Such an example is the Infineon
Semper chips which provide 4B opcodes for read/program/erase but do not
provide 4B opcodes for Read/Write Any Register. These registers are
indexed by address and require the internal address mode of the flash
before Read/Write Any Register opcodes are issued.
4B opcodes are preferred over changing the flash's address mode to 4byte,
as set_4byte_addr_mode could be done in a non-volatile way and could break
the boot sequence. Thus we need to track the flash's internal address mode
so that we can use 4B opcodes together with opcodes that don't have a 4B
opcode correspondent. Track flash's internal address mode.

addr_mode_nbytes is discovered when parsing BFPT. For the
BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_OR_4 case, one could introduce a method that
queries the flash's internal address mode at run-time (works for Winbond).
If a run-time querying can not be accomplished or if SFDP is not defined
at all, but the address mode is volatile and resets to a default known
value at boot, one can change the default addr_mode_nbytes value of 3 by
introducing a flash_info flag. If the address mode can not be queried,
discovered and it is configured via a non-volatile register, we may
introduce a dt property, but it will harm the generic approach of the
jedec,spi-nor compatible. All this complexity is not needed now, so let it
for future development.
