Nobody challenged that your flash has 4 BP bits. I/we just want the proof
that you did the tests, i.e. show the output of the mtd-utils locking tests.

I also need you to dump the sysfs/debugs entries.

It's true that the locking tests are not yet described in
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/mtd/spi-nor.html, that's why I encouraged
you to show us how you did the testing and maybe to contribute and extend
the documentation.

Cheers,
