Wait, are you talking about m25p128 or m25p64?
Confusing as it might sound, m25p64 has 128 * 64K sectors, whereas 
m25p128 has 64 * 256K sectors.
Plus, what do you mean by "64 sectors resolution"?
 From what I can read, you can lock *all* 128 sectors -- but since we 
only have 7 bits, you must lock *at least* 2 sectors (that is, 1/64th of 
the total size).

don't we have a min() macro for this?
Anyway, instead of putting it in terms of "protected portion", can't we 
just make it simpler by putting it in terms of "protected multiples 
(powers of two, particularly) of the minimum lockable size [in sectors]"?
In other words, why not something like:

min_lockable_sectors = max(1, flash->n_sectors/M25P_MAX_LOCKABLE_SECTORS);

In the end, I believe it all started (with smaller flash parts) as a way 
of telling: lock "0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64" sectors; only LATER did things 
start to scale UP as soon as the number of sectors started exceeding 64. 
Or am I wrong?

so if my idea above is accepted:

protected_area = (1<<(lock_bits-1)) * min_lockable_sectors * 
flash->mtd.sector_size;

[pedantic mode on]
Notice how here protected_area might get bigger than flash->mtd.size and 
you're comparing unsigned ints. But the loop will always terminate 
before reaching that condition anyway.
[pedantic mode off]

since the logic is common to locking and unlocking, wouldn't it make 
more sense to factor out some of the common code in a separate function 
or macro?
