Many SPI flashes have protection bits (BP2, BP1 and BP0) in the
status register that can protect selected regions of the SPI NOR.

Take these bits into account when performing erase operations,
making sure that the protected areas are skipped.

Tested on a mx6qsabresd:

=> sf probe
SF: Detected M25P32 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 4 MiB
=> sf protect lock  0x3f0000 0x10000
=> sf erase 0x3f0000 0x10000
offset 0x3f0000 is protected and cannot be erased
SF: 65536 bytes @ 0x3f0000 Erased: ERROR
=> sf protect unlock  0x3f0000 0x10000
=> sf erase 0x3f0000 0x10000
SF: 65536 bytes @ 0x3f0000 Erased: OK

Don't we have is_locked command from user? may be we can all this one as well.

We need to check the idcode as well because if we compile other flash
vendor with micron, non-micron flash got initialized with these lock
ops' and also assign stm_* calls if the idcode is micro.

This should be changes as I pointed above with non-dm, probably we can
assign lock func_ptr's in probe by checking idcode.

Sorry, I did not understand the suggestion here.

Looks like you are happy with patches 1 to 15 of this series.

Could you please apply patches 1 to 15 and then I rework only this last one?

I will pick the entire series once, since 15/16 and 16/16 are same feature set.

My questions with 16/16 is

1. We need to check the idcode as well because if we compile other
flash vendor with micron, non
micron flash got initialized with these lock ops' and also assign
stm_* calls if the idcode is micro.

2. Do the 1 for dm as well, probably in probe.

3. What about adding  'sf protect is_locked' since we have code already?

thanks!

Hopefully that will happen some day soon :-)

We can add this later if someone thinks it is really needed.
