I have only investegated few SPI flash chips. For SST25 series, WREN
is required before every time a write/erase command is to be sent.
There are other people here who is familiar with much more chips than
me. Carl-Daniel, can you help answer Rudolf's question?

There are atomicity issues in ICHx because they can share flash chips
for BIOS and some on-board network controllers. Therefore I don't
think JEDEC document will mention it. (Very appreciated if anyone
familiar with JEDEC standard can help.) I have not read about
atomicity issues in flash chip datasheets, only in ICH specs.
