Sounds good to me.

Please send your patch.

PS: Did you happen to take a look at the recent changes I made to the 
cfi_flash driver? Now the Intel "legacy lock/unlocking" is supported. Please 
let me know if you see any problems with these changes (I could only test on 
J3 FLASH's with legacy unlocking).
