+               CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
+               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.
