I found this datasheet [0] for S28H flash family from Infineon on
Google. These are SPI NOR flashes. In pinout you can see there is an
INT# signal. The signal description says: "System Interrupt (INT#). When
LOW, the device is indicating that an internal event has occurred."
Further in section 4.1.1.5 "INT# Output" it says:

HL-T/HS-T supports INT# output pin to indicate to the host system
that an event has occurred within the flash device. The user can
configure the INT# output pin to transition to the active (LOW)
state when:

- 2-bit ECC error is detected
- 1-bit ECC error is detected
- Transitioning from the Busy to the Ready state
