//! IMPORTANT: Interrupts are active during execution of all HAL flash
//! functions. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a flash function
//! that programs or erases flash or INFO space, errors will occur if the
//! interrupt service routine (ISR) is located in on-chip flash.
//! If interrupts are expected during execution of a flash function that
//! programs or erases either flash or INFO space:
//! - Interrupts must be disabled via a critical section handler prior to
//!   calling the flash function.
//! - Alternatively, applicable ISRs must be located in non-flash address space
//!   (i.e. SRAM, off-chip ROM, etc.).
