[U-Boot] [PATCH] sf: Add SPI_FLASH_4BYTE_MODE_ONLY option to support 4-byte mode

Some SPI NOR chips only support 4-byte mode addressing. Here the default
3-byte mode does not work and leads to incorrect accesses. Setting this
option enables the use of such SPI NOR chips, that only support this
4-byte mode.

This was noticed on the LinkIt Smart 7688 modul, which is equipped with
an Macronix MX25L25635F device. But this device does *NOT* support
switching to 3-byte mode via the EX4B command.
