Previously, the lock and unlock functions returned success even if the
BP bits were not actually updated in the status register due to
hardware write protection. Introduce write_sr_and_check() to write and
read back the status register to ensure the desired BP bits are
actually set as requested.

Maybe keep the previous name 'status_new' to be consistent with stm_lock()
and stm_unlock() and also because 'new' is a C++ reserved keyword so it might
be better to avoid using it to name some variable (editor syntax coloring issue
for instance).

Why do you poll the status register here ?
Based on the source code before your patch, it should not be needed.
Do you think it is ?

Otherwise, your patch looks good to me :)

Best regards,

Cyrille

Sure, both of those reasons seem reasonable.

This polling was due to an excess of caution. I've reviewed the preceding
code and agree that this can be removed from the next version of this patch.

Thanks for your review!
