Many SPI NOR flash devices support status register protection through one or two status register protection bits. Protection of the status register is essential in defending the device from rogue software which may attempt to modify block protection bits in order to make malicious modifications to the data stored in flash. This patch series adds status register protect support for STMICRO, SST, Winbond and Spansion devices and also implements an sf sub-command to set the used protection method.

Jagan,
I think get_maintainer.pl may have given me an old email address for you and you may have missed it on the mailing list. Either way if you get a chance I'd like hear what you think. I'm not sure which tree/branch you're working with (u-boot-spi master?) but if you need it rebased just let me know.
Thanks, George
