I dumped SFDP tables only for mt25qu256a, but as I mentioned I tested
locking functionality for both (on 4.19.239 which detects the device as
n25q256ax1 and on 6.1.0-rc1  which detects the device as mt25qu256a).
This is the flow I used for testing the change on both versions:

# flash_lock -i /dev/mtd0
fDevice: /dev/mtd0
Start: 0
lLen: 0x1000000
Lock status: unlocked
Return code: 0
# flash_lock -l /dev/mtd0
# flash_lock -i /dev/mtd0
fDevice: /dev/mtd0
Start: 0
Len: 0x1000000
Lock status: locked
Return code: 1
# flash_lock -u /dev/mtd0
# flash_lock -i /dev/mtd0
Device: /dev/mtd0
Start: 0
Len: 0x1000000
Lock status: unlocked

Do you still want this patch to change only mt25qu256a?
