Fix the issue where some flash chips like cypress S25HS256T for example return the value of the same register once a SPI transaction starts. So for example if read reg of 0x2 is requested and we start reading registers in DAC mode we start reading 4 byte aligned ie. 0x0, 0x1, 0x2 and then 0x3. In such a case the flash chip keeps returning the value of 0x0 even though we actually want the value of 0x2. STIG mode solves the above issue by not issuing a read continuosly for 4 byte aligned data.

Tested using a TI AM 625 SK-EVM with a QSPI Flash on board. sf read, upate and also booted up using xSPI mode till uboot prompt.
