💅 spi_nor_init_uniform_erase_map — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this one's for spi_nor_init_uniform_erase_map(9) and it's genuinely so straightforward you're gonna eat it up. no cap, this is a little setup function that hands your SPI NOR flash a nice tidy uniform erase map, and honestly? iconic behaviour.

✨ NAME ✨

spi_nor_init_uniform_erase_map — Initialize uniform erase map 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void spi_nor_init_uniform_erase_map (struct spi_nor_erase_map *map , u8
erase_mask , u64 flash_size );

like, look at it. void, so nothing comes back out 💀. it just goes in and does the thing. respect.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • map — the erase map of the SPI NOR 🗺️✨ this is the struct you're initializing, the main character of the whole operation.
  • erase_mask — bitmask encoding erase types that can erase the entire flash memory 🔥🍓 think of it as a little picker: which erase types are allowed to nuke the whole chip? the bits say it all.
  • flash_size — the spi nor flash memory size 📏💖 yep, the size. of the flash. that's the vibe.
