Atmel, SST and Intel/Numonyx serial flash tend to power up with the software protection bits set. And thus the new m25p80.c in linux kernel would always tries to use WREN(0x06) + WRSR(0x01) to turn-off the protection. The WEL(0x02) of status register is supposed to be cleared after WRSR(0x01). There are some drivers (i.e my own tiny driver for RTOSes) would check the WEL(0x02) in status register to make sure the protection is correctly turned off, so this patch is mandatory to me.
