I can change my code if it really not good enough. we can store the opcode to a field, such as spi_nor_write_op. > The framework which Huang is proposing suffers from the same issues. > Only providing read(), write(), read_reg() and write_reg() doesn't > work for our use-case, as we'd have to decode the flash->command[0] and > invoke our own internal routines as before. > > The only framework with would work for us would consist almost all > of the important functions such as; read(), write(), erase(), > wait_busy(), read_jedec(), read_status_reg(), write_status_reg(), > read_control_reg(), write_control_reg(), etc. However, this approach > read_jedec() can be replaced by read_reg(0x9f); read_status() can be replaced by read_reg(0x5); .... write_control_reg() can be replaced by write_reg(xx). Please correct me if i am wrong. IMHO, the current four hooks for spi-nor{} can do all the things. read/write/read_reg/write_reg. thanks Huang Shijie
