Note that the microSD formats do not support a write protection
switch, a host device that supports write protection should refuse to
write to an SD card that is designated read-only in this way, which is
an optional feature of the SD specification. As far as I know there is
only a use case for the IGEPv2, the TP close to the SD card can be
used as a write-protection switch, this is not an usual use case and
of course, this needs some wiring, but it's a feature used by someone.
