✨ spi_nor_sr2_..._quad_enable(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for spi_nor_sr2_..._quad_enable(9) — yes that title is long, yes it's iconic, no we're not shortening it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

spi_nor_sr2_bit7_quad_enable — sets the QE bit in Status Register 2, and honestly that's the whole personality 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int spi_nor_sr2_bit7_quad_enable (struct spi_nor *nor );

like, give it a nor and it gives you an int back. simple as that 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • nor — pointer to a struct spi_nor. that's it, that's the whole argument list, she travels light ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does she actually do? She sets the Quad Enable (QE) bit in the Status Register 2. periodt 🔥

Here's the lore, iykyk: this is one of the procedures to set the QE bit described in the SFDP (JESD216 rev B) specification. But — and this is so real — no manufacturer using this procedure has been identified yet. hence the name of the function 😭 like she exists, she's valid, she's spec-compliant, and literally nobody has shown up to use her yet. main character energy honestly 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 💖
  • -errno otherwise 💀

that's the whole page bestie, no gatekeeping 💜

ngl she's a little niche — one QE bit, one status register, zero known manufacturers — but that's what makes her special 🧚

shoutout to ./drivers/mtd/spi-nor, dated October 2026, for hosting this whole vibe 🍓 mwah, take care of her 💋
