1 is the opposite of 0 (use this feature vs not use this feature while
chip has this feature). 2 is kind of strange (for feature disabled
intentionally at run time while feature is used), maybe for testing
purpose or for certainly nand chip that has issue with WP but the board
design already connect the WP pin. I keep it here to match the driver
code that have these three states of the wp usage.
