So I take a wild guess here. There are lock bits (either in OTP or
maybe until the next power cycle), to lock the corresponding
top/bottom, block protection bits, right?

But if we ever support it, then we have to distiguish them. Thus,
I was asking.

Thanks, so that's the SFDP data for the mt25qu256aba8e12-1sit part. and
the
jedec id is 20bb19104473, correct?
You don't have the non-security part by chance?
Mh, I'm undecided whether we should just duplicate the entry or if we
should ignore the last byte ("Device configuration information", where
00h
is standard). The commit which introduced the flash was 7f412111e276b.
Vingesh?
Can you elaborate on the 0x73? Is that a bitmask? If it was an
enumeration,
I'd assumed it would be 01h (or some smaller value).
