It fixes the problem in the flash_lock -u command no longer errors like 
this:
root@...ntu:/home/john# sudo flash_lock -u /dev/mtd0
flash_lock: error!: could not unlock device: /dev/mtd0

However, with this change, even when the flash is unlocked I cannot 
write, so there is something else wrong. It's probably a bug in my 
under-development driver. I'm looking at it now.

Thanks,
John
