[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Fix 3-or-4 address byte mode logic

Flash chips that announce BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_OR_4 capability
get an addr_width of 3. This breaks when the flash chip is actually
larger than 16MB, since that requires a 4-byte address. The MX25L25635F
does exactly this, breaking anything over 16MB.

spi-nor only enables 4-byte opcodes or 4-byte address mode if addr_width
is 4, so no 4-byte mode is ever enabled. The > 16MB check in
spi_nor_set_addr_width() only works if addr_width wasn't already set
by the SFDP, which it was.

It could be fixed in a post_bfpt fixup for the MX25L25635F, but setting
addr_width to 4 when BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_OR_4 is found fixes the
problem for all such cases.
