nios2-flash-programmer detect the cfi table in wrong bit mode

I have a board, which original use a flash, which is S29GL064N90BFI04(Cypress), but this one is EOL, so we want to use MX29LV640EBXEI(Macronix) to replace it.

We program outline with Macronix flash, the board can work normal,

now we want to program online to it, but failed.

we found that the the CFI table detect it is in 16bit mode. the board is designed with 8bit mode, the higher data DQ8~15 leave unconnected.

this is use Cypress flash debug information, you can found that the CFI table in 8 bit mode

this is Macronix flash, and it is in 16bit mode.

how can I change it with right bit mode？ how can I programmer it successful?

if you have good idea, please let me know, thanks very much!!!!
