I started first with params and debug log for working and non-working cases:

1] Non-working case: BP Flags + Parsing SFDP(i.e remove size, fixup flag
and no_sfdp flag)



## x86-64-smarc-evk-uwd0j0007 # flash_lock -l /dev/mtd0

[ 480.230232] spi-nor spi-PRP0001:00: SR: Read back test failed
flash_lock: error!: could not lock device: /dev/mtd0

error 5 (Input/output error)

and params from debugfs look like:

## x86-64-smarc-evk-uwd0j0007 # cat
/sys/kernel/debug/spi-nor/spi-PRP0001:00/params
name mt25qu512a
id 20 bb 20 10 44 00
size 64.0 MiB
write size 1
page size 256
address nbytes 4
flags HAS_SR_TB | 4B_OPCODES | HAS_4BAIT | HAS_LOCK |
HAS_16BIT_SR | HAS_4BIT_BP | HAS_SR_BP3_BIT6 | SOFT_RESET


Strange thing here is HAS_16BIT_SR. And it makes sense from debug log:
[ 480.230232] spi-nor spi-PRP0001:00: SR: Read back test failed

which comes from spi_nor_write_16bit_sr_and_check () .

It is strange because in micron-st.c, in default init we have:
static void micron_st_nor_default_init(struct spi_nor *nor)
{
nor->flags |= SNOR_F_HAS_LOCK;
nor->flags &= ~SNOR_F_HAS_16BIT_SR;
nor->params->quad_enable = NULL;
}



2] Working case: Just BP flags and no parsing SFDP:

Params for flags look like

flags HAS_SR_TB | 4B_OPCODES | HAS_4BAIT | HAS_LOCK |
HAS_4BIT_BP | HAS_SR_BP3_BIT6 | SOFT_RESET


3] Just adding .fixup_flags:
@@ -407,6 +418,7 @@ static const struct flash_info st_nor_parts[] = {
.name = "mt25qu512a",
.flags = SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK | SPI_NOR_HAS_TB |
SPI_NOR_4BIT_BP |
SPI_NOR_BP3_SR_BIT6,
+ .fixup_flags = SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES,
.mfr_flags = USE_FSR,



lock/unlock still doesn't work.

I also compared this with case when we just parse SFDP flag, we get
4Byte-AIT, so this flag is not required when parsing SFDP.

This is only required when we don't parse SFDP and use .size=SZ_64M


4] Adding .size flag i.e no SFDP parsing:

lock/unlock works as expected and params:

## x86-64-smarc-evk-uwd0j0007 # cat
/sys/kernel/debug/spi-nor/spi-PRP0001:00/params
name mt25qu512a
id 20 bb 20 10 44 00
size 64.0 MiB
write size 1
page size 256
address nbytes 4
flags HAS_SR_TB | 4B_OPCODES | HAS_LOCK | HAS_4BIT_BP |
HAS_SR_BP3_BIT6

--------------------------------------------------------

IMO, HAS_16BIT_SR flag is causing lock/unlock failure,
since BP bits are calculated wrong then.

I tested also for a case where I don't parse SFDP and
reverted the condition in micron_st_nor_default_init()
for 16BIT Status Register Flag. And lock/unlock fails with
same log as Non-working case.

And this mt25qu512 has 8-BIT SR as typical micron-st flash.
