I have to admit that I don't understand the problem yet at all. It
should have worked IMHO.
If you have some time please retry with -VV again after applying the
following patch on top of the previous patch (3927). This should print
what we actually try to write to the status register to disable the
alleged write protection. Maybe I am misreading the datasheet, and if
so the debug output should make it easier to understand what's going on.
