+ bool "Disable SWP on any flashes (legacy behavior)"
+ help
+ This option disables the software write protection on any SPI
+ flashes at boot-up.
+
+ Depending on the flash chip this either clears the block protection
+ bits or does a "Global Unprotect" command.
+
+ Don't use this if you intent to use the software write protection
+ of your SPI flash. This is only to keep backwards compatibility.

+config MTD_SPI_NOR_SWP_DISABLE_ON_VOLATILE
+ bool "Disable SWP on flashes w/ volatile protection bits"
+ help
+ Some SPI flashes have volatile block protection bits, ie. after a
+ power-up or a reset the flash is software write protected by
+ default.
+
+ This option disables the software write protection for these kind
+ of flashes while keeping it enabled for any other SPI flashes
+ which have non-volatile write protection bits.
+
+ If the software write protection will be disabled depending on
+ the flash either the block protection bits are cleared or a
+ "Global Unprotect" command is issued.
+
+ If you are unsure, select this option.
+
+config MTD_SPI_NOR_SWP_KEEP
+ bool "Keep software write protection as is"
+ help
+ If you select this option the software write protection of any
+ SPI flashes will not be changed. If your flash is software write
+ protected or will be automatically software write protected after
+ power-up you have to manually unlock it before you are able to
+ write to it.
