According to section
   8.2.7 Write Extended Address Register (C5h)

of the Winbond W25Q256FV data sheet (256M-BIT SPI flash)

   The Extended Address Register is only effective when the device is
   in the 3-Byte Address Mode.  When the device operates in the 4-Byte
   Address Mode (ADS=1), any command with address input of A31-A24
   will replace the Extended Address Register values. It is
   recommended to check and update the Extended Address Register if
   necessary when the device is switched from 4-Byte to 3-Byte Address
   Mode.

This patch adds code to implement that recommendation.  Without this,
my GNUBEE-PC1 will not successfully reboot, as the Extended Address
Register is left with a value of '1'. When the SOC attempts to read
(in 3-byte address mode) the boot loader, it reads from the wrong
location.
