[PATCH 00/10] mtd: spi-nor: cleanups + block protection support updates

Hi all,

I've been reviewing various spi-nor drivers as well as working with some
Winbond flash to support new locking features. The former helped point out a
few more things that could use some improvement, and the latter suggested that
we have some glaring oversights in the spi-nor lock/unlock code.

<side note>
Some helpful companion code, for mtd-utils:

This extends the flash_lock tool so that you can more easily test specific
ranges, using:

  # flash_lock --lock /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
  # flash_lock --unlock /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
  # flash_lock --islocked /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
</side note>

The first half of this series is fairly self-explanatory. The second might take
a bit of thought, as a formulaic approach is a little more subtle than a
table-based approach, so I tried to copy the relevant portions distilled from a
few datasheets and include comments. Please shout if anything deserves more
explanation or looks funny to you.

Highlights:

 * clean up spi-nor.h header
 * spi-nor now supports MEMISLOCKED
 * MEM{LOCK,UNLOCK} support is a little more robust and extendible
 * turn on dual/quad read for Winbond w25q{32,64}dw
 * enable block protection for Winbond flash

Regards,
Brian
