Hi Bean,

Thanks for your suggestions very much.
Yes, the flash N25Q128A status register write enable/disable bit is disable in initial state.
But, This patch aims to clear status register bit[7](write enable/disable bit) to 0, which enables the bit.
Frankly speaking, I also don't want to add this patch.
The reason for this is that clear status register bit[7] to 0 is a must to set quad mode to Enhanced Volatile Configuration Register using command SPINOR_OP_WD_EVCR. Otherwise it will output "Micron EVCR Quad bit not clear" in spi-nor.c
I looked up the datasheet, but I really don't find out any connection between status register bit[7](write enable/disable bit) equals 0 and seting quad mode to Enhanced Volatile Configuration Register.

Just as I want to send the issue to Micron team , could you give me some solutions ?


Thanks 
Yunhui

For Micron the status register write enable/disable bit, its default/factory value is disable.

Hi, Yunhai
You mean that EVCR.bit7 cannot clear(enable quad mode) if not write SR.bit7 to 0?
They don't have any connection each other.

Hi Bean,

I tested with flash N25Q128A again.
In fact, It must output "Micron EVCR Quad bit not clear" in spi-nor.c, if the status register write enable/disable bit is set.

Could you give some suggestions about this ?
Thanks
Yunhui
