That won't work: ->locking_ops is const, meaning that you can't update
individual fields (which I consider a good thing). As I see it, the
locking scheme is a package that describe how to lock/unlock blocks, be
it individually, by groups or globally. I really hope we can take this
decision on a per-manufacturer basis, but I fear it might actually be a
per-chip thing.
