All set_4byte_addr_mode methods are defined in sfdp.c and declared in sfdp.h.
I kept the methods defined in sfdp.c because SFDP defines their behavior/how
they work. Vendors already have access to all these methods when including
core.h (which includes sfdp.h). No need to move them to core, as they are
SFDP specific.

because I parse 2 bits and check if both the enter and the exit methods of
the 4b addr mode are specified.

these 2 bits are:
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/sfdp.h:#define BFPT_DWORD16_4B_ADDR_MODE_BRWR                       \
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/sfdp.h-     (BFPT_DWORD16_EN4B_BRWR | BFPT_DWORD16_EX4B_BRWR)

When both specified, I set the method.
