What to look at: flash would be fully erased with programmers that lack native 4BA command support? Needs investigation.

It turned out that the flash chip entry missed to advertise the extended-address register (EAR) because support for the instructions used by this flash chip was hard to see (one would have to use the .wrea_override field which isn't very obvious). Both ISSI and Spansion support the same alternative instructions to access the EAR (0x17/0x16). Beside this and the default (0xc5/0xc8), no other instruction sets are known to be used. So I wrote patches to replace this field with a feature flag for the alternative instruction set.

Patches are merged, let's see if we can find somebody to test.

Nico, I assume this still needs to be tested?

We use the .tested field in the flash database to keep track of the test status. So there's no need to do so here, is there?
