I've read again the datasheet[1], and to me it looks like we
don't support the locking scheme for this flash.
What mx25l6405d calls BP3, we refer to as Top/Bottom support (TB bit).
The problem that I see is that mx25l6405d uses some kind of twisted
TB bit.

For example, for BP3=1, BP2=0, BP1=0, BP0=1, the flash's datasheet
states that the lower half blocks are protected (0th-63th), while in 
our code we would expect that just the lower first two blocks to be
protected (0th and 1st). We need new support for this flash.

Cheers,
ta
