This now probably blocked by #2939 ?

Maybe, but i will not try to check if this device is affected, because it is too far away to debug something if physical access is needed.

We've discussed this at todays mumble - The Flash locking has to be checked before this PR is merged. As the device seems to be mounted on your side, I'll close this PR until this has been verified.

Sorry, but the worst case happening here is we brick devices due to them leaving the flash locked and thus not able to upgrade until reset via TFTP or serial.
