The JEDEC standard describes it as follows:
The selector field may be needed to further identify a particular element of a flag.

Other cannot used it because it is fixed as zero in the API.

Thanks,

The selector field may be needed to further identify a particular element of a flag. Selector field is not
2218 used in this version of the standard and its value shall be zero.
