It's exactly the case which I mentioned: dual-mode (x8/x16) flash in 8-bit mode.

There is a field in CFI information table which specifies flash interface (offset 0x50 in 8-bit mode, page 53 of S29GLxxxM data sheet). If the flash is x8/x16 and the driver detected that it's in 8-bit mode, this means that it's the above mentioned special case. I'd add a couple of fields to U-Boot's CFI flash structure to hold the addresses. Then simple shift would provide correct addresses.
