He, weird...

at first, what I don't understand in my quoted code snippets is the
following:

Creating 5 MTD partitions on "scb9328_flash":             
0x00000000-0x00020000 : "U-boot"             
0x00020000-0x00040000 : "U-boot_env"
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status before, ofs=0x00000000, len=0x00020000
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status after, ret=-1070912512                
0x00040000-0x00240000 : "kernel"                       
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status before, ofs=0x00000000, len=0x00200000
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status after, ret=-1070913024                
0x00240000-0x00740000 : "root"                         
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status before, ofs=0x00000000, len=0x00500000
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status after, ret=-1070913536                
0x00740000-0x01000000 : "fs"                           
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status before, ofs=0x00000000, len=0x008C0000
cfi_intelext_unlock: lock status after, ret=-1070914048

That comes from 
cfi_intelext_unlock(mtd, 0, mtd->size);
being called, the cfi_varsize_frob functions are all commented out,
only the DEBUG_LOCK_BITS are functional.

Why is cfi_intelext_unlock() called with ofs=0, is that correct?
Shouldn't there be hardware addresses?
