QSPI Flash memory configuration

[JH7]

Hello,

I have a nrf52840 project that uses an external flash over QSPI. My code works as expected with the PCA10056 devkit and the memory MX25R6435F (64 Mbit).
When I port the code to my custom PCB, which uses the memory MX25L25645G (256 Mbit), the same code works for addresses that are < 3 bytes length, but it fails to access bigger addresses. I.e. if I try to write to address 0x1000000, it will write to address 0, instead.

The MX25L25645G datasheet mentions that 4 bytes address mode needs to be enabled to access the higher addresses, so I suspect the flash driver (#include <zephyr/drivers/flash.h>) is not doing that.

My next step would be to check the driver implementation, but before I do that, I'd like to know what is the right way of solving this with Zephyr. This is my 1st Zephyr project and I'm not sure if I configured the memory correctly or I missed something.

In case I do need to change the driver, what's the best way of doing that? Just change the current code or create a new one? Guidance is appreciated.

This is the DTS configuration I'm using for the memory (I used the MX25R6435F as a base and changed the values accordingly).
