💅 spi_nor_spi...k_read_pp_op(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel today — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the headline is spi_nor_spimem_check_read_pp_op. Say that five times fast, I dare you 😭

✨ NAME ✨

spi_nor_spimem_check_read_pp_op — the little vibe check that asks "hey, does this controller actually support this read operation or page program operation?" 💖

Basically it's the bouncer at the club door, but for SPI NOR flash ops. If your controller can't handle it, it does not get in. Periodt. 🚫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int spi_nor_spimem_check_read_pp_op (struct spi_nor *nor , struct
spi_mem_op *op );

look at her. iconic signature, no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • nor — pointer to a 'struct spi_nor' 🫶 this is the NOR flash buddy we're checking up on. She's the main character of this whole story.
  • op — pointer to the op template that's getting checked ✨ yes bestie, it's a template, meaning it's the shape of the operation you're asking about, and we're gonna see if the hardware is feeling it.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — this function returns 0 if the operation is supported, and -EOPNOTSUPP otherwise. that's it. that's the whole function. no cap.

like genuinely it's giving "simple but essential" energy 🔥 zero means slay, -EOPNOTSUPP means the controller said "not me, not today" 💀

the full friend group, all sixty-two of them, and yes we're listing every single one because nobody gets left out in this house 🏠💖

iykyk — there's a whole kernel file behind this one: ./drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c 🔍 that's where the magic actually happens, go read it if you're nosy like me 🙈

and that's the page, bestie!! 🧚‍♀️ this lil drop came out of ./drivers/mtd/spi-nor in October 2026, filed under section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — spi_nor_spi...k_read_pp_op(9), always and forever 💜✨ go check your hwcaps, ily, bye 🎀
