Security register is a very vague term. It in no way tells you that it
means OTP data unless you already know. If I read this for the first
time, I would think it is some sort of password or access enable/disable
type of register, and not OTP data region.
Please add a note to clarify this. Same for the write and erase
functions.
With this fixed,
