* chip read * chip erase chip write (0xff to other) * chip erase-and-write (option 'write')
partial read partial erase 1 partial write 2 partial erase-and-write
* = Options we have 1 = Carl-Daniel suggests 2 = Other people suggest
Every option in the list is useful in some case. My opinion on -
the choice - Support the full list; 1 - Warning and ask for continuation. No checking for 0xff; 2 - We need this convenience for partial modification.
My two cents.
