I am glad that the OPCODE patch is more useful than scratching my own itch :-)

For an ad hoc solution, we can ignore the request to execute a command
in ich_spi_command if we find that command is a preop. Later when chip
erase is executed, some predefined (in pops[] ) preop will be picked
up.

However, I don't think it should be fixed in that way.

One of the problems behind is design inconsistency in different
operations. For chip/block/sector erase operations, spi_write_enable
is integrated into those operations; for byte program,
spi_write_enable is not integrated.
