What about creating commands doing like this instead?

"sf protect 000" ---> Write 000 to BP2 BP1 BP0 (do not protect any sector)
"sf protect 001" ---> Write 001 to BP2 BP1 BP0 (protect the last 1/64 sectors)
...
"sf protect 111" ---> Write 111 to BP2 BP1 BP0" (protect all sectors)

Would this method be acceptable? It much simpler.

I don't think that the proposed "sf protect on off len" would apply to
the SPI NOR protection layout.

Please advise.
