[U-Boot-Users] flash protection code in cfi_flash

[David Ho]

I also realized if flash is locked, Linux mtd/jffs2 will complain
about writes to flash with these messages:

Write of 68 bytes at 0x03b9bc18 failed. returned -30, retlen 0
Not marking the space at 0x03b9bc18 as dirty because the flash driver returned r
etlen zero
