✨ spi_nor_init...s_deprecated(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, sit down, we're reading a kernel API page together 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is a function whose name is genuinely so long it needs its own zip code. yes it's deprecated. no we're not skipping it. let's go 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

spi_nor_init_params_deprecated — the deprecated way of initializing flash parameters and settings. that's it, that's the vibe. lowkey an antique 🕰️

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void spi_nor_init_params_deprecated (struct spi_nor *nor );

void return, no cap. it just does the thing and leaves 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • nor — a pointer to a struct spi_nor. that's your lil flash baby right there, and this is the one job you have: hand it over 🫴

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ this method is out here assuming your flash doesn't support SFDP. like, it just assumes. bold of it, honestly 👑

because of that assumption, it initializes the flash parameters inside spi_nor_no_sfdp_init_params — and those params can later on get overwritten when SFDP is parsed, if it's supported. so it's giving "starter settings, will revise later" energy ✨

fr fr remember: this whole function is deprecated — the name literally tells you 😭 use it knowing it's legacy, bestie.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

if you're going down this rabbit hole, here's the whole neighborhood 🏘️ plus the kernel file it lives in: ./drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 🍓 this lil number comes to you from ./drivers/mtd/spi-nor, dated October 2026 — mwah, see you in the next manpage 💜🧚‍♀️
