4BA: Support for 4-bytes addressing via Extended Address Register

On some flash chips data with addresses more than 24-bit field
can address may be accessed by using Extended Address Register.
The register has 1-byte size and stores high byte of 32-bit address.
Then flash can be read from 3-bytes addressing mode with writing
high byte of address to this Register. By using this way we have
access to full memory of a chip. Some chips may support this method
only.

This patch provides code use Extended Address Register.
