This is a somewhat experimental change, where I'm mainly looking for feedback at first. There are two cases I can imagine, where erased flash may not read back as
0xFF
:In "normal" cases,
read_if_not_empty
just issues a single read and checks the bytes, like in the default implementation. In the case of ESP32, the implementation would issue a decryption-bypassing read first to check for the empty value, then read the decrypted bytes again if not empty.The goal of this addition is to enable storage solutions to work with flash encryption without any additional marker traits or similar complications.
