Motorola jumped from their 8-bit 6809 to a full 32-bit (internal) processor in 1979. Intel delivered a 32-bit processor 6 years later in 1985.

Yes, but that's not a matter of "just add[ing] some address lines"; it's a matter of adding additional bits to the registers (and probably the ALU and internal data buses, but the registers are the limiting factor: if you don't have 32-bit registers you can't have (32-bit) flat address space). Even if it were "just", it would be "just add some register bits".
