- Must also include "jedec,spi-nor" for any SPI NOR flash that can be
- identified by the JEDEC READ ID opcode (0x9F).
+ SPI NOR flashes compatible with the JEDEC SFDP standard or which may be
+ identified with the READ ID opcode (0x9F) do not deserve a specific
+ compatible. They should instead only be matched against the generic
+ "jedec,spi-nor" compatible.

+ The status register write disable (SRWD) bit in status register, combined
+ with the WP# signal, provides hardware data protection for the device. When
+ the SRWD bit is set to 1, and the WP# signal is either driven LOW or hard
+ strapped to LOW, the status register nonvolatile bits become read-only and
+ the WRITE STATUS REGISTER operation will not execute. The only way to exit
+ this hardware-protected mode is to drive WP# HIGH. If the WP# signal of the
+ flash device is not connected or is wrongly tied to GND (that includes internal
+ pull-downs) then status register permanently becomes read-only as the SRWD bit
+ cannot be reset. This boolean flag can be used on such systems to avoid setting
+ the SRWD bit while writing the status register. WP# signal hard strapped to GND
+ can be a valid use case.
