By checking MX25L25635F datasheet I found that the Enter4BA instruction 
doesn't require WREN before. By default 4BA patch does WREN + Enter4BA
to switch to 4-byte.addr.mode.

To make Flashrom work with this chip I see 3 ways:

1) Uncomment FBA_USE_EXT_ADDR_REG_BY_DEFAULT define in sfdp.c to use 3-bytes
addressing with Extended Address Register by default. This should work on
MX25L25635F. It seems that it's the best way for default access to 4BA-chips.

2) Define this chip in flashchips.c with all direct functions (it has them)
or define with 4BA functions and set "enter_4ba = spi_enter_4ba_b7" to
prevent of using WREN before EN4B instruction.

3) Add some heuristics to 4BA mode switch to try both types
(with WREN and without WREN).
