mtd: spi-nor: Add generic formula for SR block protection handling
The current mainline locking was restricted and could only be applied to flashes that have 3 block protection bits and fixed locking ratio. A new method of normalization was reached at the end of the discussion [1]. (1) - if bp slot is insufficient. (2) - if bp slot is sufficient. if (bp_slots_needed > bp_slots) // (1) min_prot_length = sector_size << (bp_slots_needed - bp_slots); else // (2) min_prot_length = sector_size; This patch changes logic to handle block protection based on min_prot_length. It is suitable for the overall flashes with exception of some corner cases (see EON and catalyst) and easy to extend and apply for the case of 2bit or 4bit block protection.
