If you are running on the alternate flash in order to fix a
corrupted main flash image, it might be good to have the steps
for that documented as well.

Also delete any protect commands from non-active flash banks;
they are only required for the instances where you are writing
to the currently in use flash image.

[v2: drop protect commands from instances where we flash the non
     active flash bank ; it wasn't protected anyway.]
