[PATCH 1/1] spi-nor: allow setting the BPNV (default locked) bit

[Jonas Bonn <jonas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Setting the BPNV bit defaults the block protection bits BP0-2 to 1 at
reset.  This means that all the flash sectors are protected until they
are explicity unlocked by the user.

Together with protection of the status register via the SRWD bit and the
WP# signal, this allows a flash device to be effectively protected from
erasure by unauthorized actors.

The patch has been tested with a Cypress s25fl512s and works as
advertised.  The concern that I have with this, though, is that the BPNV
bit is "write once":  if somebody inadvertently sets this feature on the
device, it is irrevocable!  Whether or not this actually belongs in the
mainline kernel is therefore up for debate...
