As we discussed before [0], if address mode in the controller and device are
different, the read data will be undetermined.

But if we really want...
Compare SR1 data read by RDSR1(05h - No Addr) and RDAR(65h - Addr 0).
In most cases (without block protection), SR1=00h. The value of 00h would be
awkward to determine if this is 'real' output from Flash or not. So, use
WREN(06h) and WRDI(04h) that flips BIT(1) in SR1.

Therefore, something like:
1) RDSR1
2) RDAR with 3-byte addr (000000h)
3) If #1 == #2
	4) WREN
	5) RDAR with 3-byte addr (000000h)
	6) BIT(1) is SR1==1?
	...

Or simply WREN -> RDAR -> WRDI -> RDAR then check if only BIT(1) is toggled.
