The more patches queue up for cfi_flash.c the more time you and us will be spending for resolving the conflicts. I really would appreciate if you can pull up the patches on cfi_flash.c (or similar common files) more frequently.
The problem is that there was no agreement about what to do, especially about the locking/unlocking stuff.
My patch fixes a couple of subtle bugs without touching (un)locking issues. It was submitted before these issues came to the list and it is not dependent on resolution of this issue but could be effected due to changes to the file.
Regarding lock/unlock stuff the thread of discussion is here:

You described the requirements of the patch that address locking/unlocking issues here so I assume Richard Woodruff will submit a
patch that way.

(When I have some time) I intend to provide a patch to provide consistent and driver agnostic protection to U-Boot/U-Boot environment and other board specific critical flash areas as described (and conceptually approved by you) in the following post:
