I can change it, no problem. I thought of this, but was affraid if the
property wouldn't be too long.

Not needed - this code is executed only for mtd->size > 0x1000000. See
bigger context:

        if (info->addr_width)
                nor->addr_width = info->addr_width;
        else if (mtd->size > 0x1000000) {
                /* enable 4-byte addressing if the device exceeds 16MiB */
                nor->addr_width = 4;
                if (JEDEC_MFR(info) == SNOR_MFR_SPANSION ||
                    info->flags & SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES)
                        spi_nor_set_4byte_opcodes(nor, info);
                else if (of_property_read_bool(np, "spi-3byte-addressing")) {
                        /*
                         * Do not enter 4byte mode in order to prevent
                         * the early bootloader to come up on non-default
                         * SPI NOR memory during boot. Limit accessible
                         * size to 16MiB.
                         */
                        nor->addr_width = 3;
                        mtd->size = 0x1000000;
                        dev_info(dev, "Force 3B addressing mode\n");
                } else
                        set_4byte(nor, info, 1);
        } else {
                nor->addr_width = 3;
        }
