As an alternative, you might return an error when trying to set a
breakpoint with un-probed memory areas.

Also, flash drivers might provide a default value without probing - in
most cases, it should be possible to determine an upper bound of how
much area the flash might take without probing the exact details - for
the purpose of determining breakpoint type, this should be enough.
