I have the Cypress S28 flash and this bit is marked as "reserved" there. 
Maybe we should have a flash family specific name? Dunno. But I guess it 
does not matter so much since it will be very localised anyway.

I have the Cypress S28 flash family, and on there I see that the 
volatile bit takes precedence over non-volatile bit*. At powerup data in 
NV bits is transferred to V bits to set their default state.

What I am more worried about is if quad mode is enabled in a 
non-volatile register (which should NEVER be done by Linux), will we be 
able to properly detect and initialize the flash? We certainly can't do 
it for 8D-8D-8D mode flashes.

* The exception is when the volatile bit is marked read-only. Then 
non-volatile bit takes precedence and volatile bit is ignored.

Good catch! I see there is function called object_is_on_stack(). 
spi_mem_exec_op() should probably run that check.
