As mentioned in my previous reply to 1/3 I don't think it is enough to
just write 0 because you first have to disable the SPRL.

For the other ops, for what atmel flash do you think this won't work?

All the flashes which uses these ops were marked as "Global
Protect/Unprotect same as in at25df041a." by you. So I think it should
work on all of these. Or am I missing something here?

Mhh I had this datasheet:
https://www.esmt.com.tw/upload/pdf/ESMT/datasheets/F25L32QA.pdf

In that one they are volatile.. but yours is a newer version. So I
guess the flashes with the PA suffix have volatile BP and the QA ones
have the non-volatile version.

Yes will fix it.

> Do we need BP3?

Rather the top bottom bit. But that is outside of the scope of this 
patch.
And as per your rule, as I don't have this particular flash I cannot 
test
and thus couldn't add the TB bit (technically). But if you like I can do
another patch (outside of this series and after it is applied) which 
will
add the TB bit flag.

Same as F25L32QA.

https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20005036C.pdf

agreed. But again cannot test it. Would add it as a seperate patch
to this series. (or leave it like it is)

Mhh? What datasheet were you looking at? There are three BPs:
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/SST25WF040B-4-Mbit-1.8V-SPI-Serial-Flash-Data-Sheet-DS20005193E.pdf

Ahh here are the tables which only inidicate two. But there are three.
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20005016C.pdf

And yes since the rework of the BP bits algorithm this should work
as expected. Its just because the flash is too small to actually fill
up all the BP bits.
