Unfortunately, due to a known erratum in the Cadence controller, PHY DDR
mode cannot be used with 2-byte addressing.

Refer:
Errata i2383: OSPI: 2-byte address is not supported in PHY DDR mode [1]

As a result, the Cadence controller supports only the following
operating modes:
 - PHY DDR mode with 4-byte addressing
 - PHY SDR mode
 - TAP (non-PHY) DDR mode
 - TAP (non-PHY) SDR mode
