Thanks.

How is Dual IO and Quad IO supported here?
I have the following cases.
  1. parts that need to configure QE bit before Quad IO can be used.
  2. parts that have default QE bit set for quad.
  3. Has a dedicated command for quad IO read, which is similar to other vendors.

Regards,

Victor

For these two (printlock and unlock), you need to pick the function
which handles the highest BP bit that chip supports. In your example,
if a chip supports bits BP0-BP4 the correct functions are those with
BP4 in the name. So you did it all right.

If the chip supports write protection, you also need to set .reg_bits
in chip definition. For this you need to have a look at struct
reg_bit_map in include/flash.h, it has comments on what each bit in
the struct means.
