[PATCH v3 0/2] mtd: spi-nor: Avoid setting SRWD bit in SR

From: Amit Kumar Mahapatra
Date: Sun Jun 25 2023 - 06:03:12 EST


Setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in the status
register (SR) with WP# signal of the flash not connected or wrongly tied to
GND (that includes internal pull-downs), will configure the SR permanently
as read-only. To avoid this a boolean type DT property "no-wp" is
introduced. If this property is defined, the spi-nor doesn't set the SRWD
bit in SR while performing flash protection operation.
