Upon reading the register, flag_status field gathers information from flash status register as shown in Table 244. To clear the flag status register, write value of 0 to the EPCQ_FLAG_STATUS register. Any value other than 0 is illegal.

Note: Intel recommends that you check the error bits in the EPCQ_FLAG_STATUS register after erase and write commands. You are required to clear the register if error bits are asserted.
