n25q256ax1 [1] and mt25qu256a [2] (both have same jedec_id - 0x20bb19)
use the 4 bit Block Protection scheme and support Top/Bottom protection
via the BP and TB bits of the Status Register.
BP3 is located in bit 6 of the Status Register.
Tested on both n25q256ax1 and mt25qu256a.

That's the mt25qu256a SFDP. What about the n25q256ax1?

On the same card, with same NOR flash memory I'm running two different
kernel versions.
First version is quite old - 4.19.239 which does not support mt25qu256a
and therefore device is detected as n25q256ax1.
Second version is 6.1.0-rc1 and it detects the same device as mt25qu256a.
So I was able to dump SFDP when running version 6.1.0-rc1, but not when
running 4.19.239 which does not support the sysfs to dump the SFPD
information.
I checked that locking works with my changes when running on both kernel
versions.
