Hmm. I've tried adding support for locking on Macronix to U-Boot
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20200326114257.1782-3-rasmus.villemoes@prevas.dk/),
but that was quite a bit more involved than this. Note in particular the
first part of my commit message:
Macronix chips implements locking in (power-of-two multiple of) 64K
blocks, not as a fraction of the chip's size.
At least, that was true for the chip I was interested in and the few
others whose data sheets I grabbed to double-check. So I'm a bit
skeptical that this can work out-of-the-box without introducing a new
struct spi_nor_locking_ops.
