I am giving my inputs based on the discussion on this thread[1].

Seems like winbond[2], stmicron, spansion look better way or equally
same for accessing 4-byte addressing commands. and I find few of the
Macronix [3] have support of 4B addressing(see Table 5) but
lack/unable to find the 4B opcodes.

And about BAR support, based on my experience in u-boot and research
on above chips only require when controller isn't supporting 4-byte
addressing even if connected flash chip has > 16MiB, that means there
is no exact or equivalent requirement for flash side either.

So, adding the flags on flash table might be the good option instead
making code to convert 3B opcode to 4B because anyway the chips
require SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES and also except winbond, stmicron, spansion
not too many flash needed > 16MiB support as of now.
