Yes, I understand your problem and it needs to get fixed. But your original 
patch changed the unlock address not only for this "legacy" FLASH type but for 
all AMD type FLASH chips. And I'm not sure if this is correct. Meaning if the 
AMD/Spansion chips will accept these unlock addresses.

Perhaps you could check some data-sheets (some older and more recent Spansion 
CFI chips) which unlock addresses should be used here.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
