The FmtData (Format Data) bit = 1 indicates that the defect list header and defect
data (defect descriptors) are transferred from the host computer during the Data Out

The FmtData bit = 0 indicates that the Data Out phase must not occur, that is,
neither defect list header nor defect data must be supplied from the host computer.
The controller executes the formatting with the default mode of the controller and
CmpLst must be set to 0.
Note : The default mode is DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP and DSP set to 0. (These function
are explained in the Defect List Header section.)
The CmpLst (Complete List) bit = 1 indicates that the data supplied by the host
computer during the Data Out phase of this command is the complete list of known
defects. The controller deletes the old G list and creates a new list.
The CmpLst bit = 0 indicates that the data supplied by the host computer during
the Data Out phase of the command is to be added to the existing defect data.
Note : If FmtData bit is set to 0, CmpLst bit is ignored.
The controller uses the default value (CmpLst bit off).
The Defect List format field specifies additional information related to the defect list

The Certification Pattern field specifies the data pattern to be written in data blocks.
