The way to exit 4-byte addressing mode, can be determined by looking  
at the SFDP (JEDEC Standard JESD216B). As you already suspected, there  
are many possibilities. The method required, can be derived from the  
16th DWORD from the JEDEC Basic Flash Parameter Table (page 28).

Not really. There may not be a hardware reset line if the flash is  
running in x4 data mode.
