S25FL{128|256|512}S datasheets say:
"When P_ERR or E_ERR bits are set to one, the WIP bit will remain set to
one indicating the device remains busy and unable to receive new operation
commands. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) command must be received to return
the device to standby mode."
Current spi-nor code works until first error occurs, but write/erase errors
are not just rare hardware failures, they also occur if user tries to flash
write-protected areas. After such attempt no SPI command can be executed
any more and even read fails. This patch adds support for P_ERR and E_ERR
bits in Status Register 1 (so that operation fails immediately and not
after a long timeout) and proper recovery from the error condition.
Tested on Spansion S25FS128S, which is supported by S25FL129P entry.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
