Hello,
I've recently used UBI/UBIFS with a cortex-A7 based platform featuring a 
spi-nor from Spansion (s25fl256). I had to introduce some changes for the 
4-byte-mode, which will be set automatically, if barebox detects a flash 
memory with more than 16MByte, because I was not able to reboot my 
platform. But it seems that your problem is a different one.

I've just downloaded the datasheet of the n25q256a, and it seems that this 
chip reports the JEDEC_MFR of ST (0x20), but needs the 4-byte CMD of 
Macronix (0xb7).

This combination is currently not supported by barebox, but if you add an 
additional 'case: CFI_MRF_ST' line to your 'set_4byte()' function, it 
should hopefully work:

diff --git a/drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c b/drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c
index 095a4ca..f54eb1f 100644
