I don't think this is a valid approach. What we want is to prevent
tuning in octal DTR mode with 2 bytes addressing, instead of preventing
reads/writes in octal DTR modes after tuning. Have you tried on an AM62A LP
SK? I bet probe fails..

The quirk should be handled at the beginning of the tuning procedure, so
we skip tuning entirely in this case.

Thanks,
