I'm a bit late to the party here, but in case it's relevant: I
successfully programmed a Micron N25Q512, which is a 64 MByte SPI
flash with 4-byte addressing, using patches originally from Boris
Baykov on top of a more current flashrom. See
https://github.com/skyportsystems/flashrom/commits/master .

Both FT232H module and STM32 Blue Pill board with stm32-vserprog
firmware work as programmers.
