oh, I see. If addr width is set via the SMPT_CMD_ADDRESS_LEN_USE_CURRENT,
case, and if the flash comes in 4 byte address mode from a bootloader,
then setting addr_width to 3 in case BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_OR_4,
will break the reading of the map.

If the Address Mode bit is volatile, maybe we can reset the flash to
its power on state immediately after identification. For the NV bits,
we have the same recurring problem.
