+		enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
+		register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
+		The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
+		the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
+		device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
+		and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
+		nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
+		operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
+		hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
