The current implementation in spi_flash supports 3-byte address mode due to this up to 16MB amount of flash is able to access for those flashes which has an actual size of > 16MB.

List of flashes: S25FL256S N25Q256 N25Q256A W25Q256(not yet mainlined)

extended/bank address register contains an information to access the 4th byte addressing hence the flashes which has > 16MB can be accessible.

extended/bank address read/write commands in spansion & winbond/stmicro are different, currently I have added support for spansion.

if the user is giving an offset > 0x1000000 for read/write/erase commands the implementation will subtract the offset from 0x1000000 and then enable the extended/bank address register.

[pseudo] if (offset > 0x1000000) { offset -= 0x1000000; enable the ext/bank addr register } else disable the ext/bank addr register

Thanks, Jagan.
