Ping. No any volunteer for review?

PS: Even it seems not to be so crucial for most cases, I still
think it is not correct to do multiple unlocking if know that
cmd0002 chips have support only for full chip unlock
(so no per-sector unlock is possible).

I have detected that incorrect behavior on Spansion
S29GL01GS, which has really crazy unlocking timing
(at least on our custom boards).
