The vybrid does not support the accelerated SPI NOR register IO.
these hooks are for Lee's driver.

What is the "stuff" mean? the "write_enable" ?

I use a write_reg(OPCODE_ERASE_CHIP) to erase the whole chip.
Please read the patch 3.

This hook is used to erase a sector.

Btw, what is the sub-sector mean? which opcodes for the sub-sector?
