This should work, but I haven't done it in a while.

This is the one I was thinking of:
2003-10-29 Jonathan Larmour <jifl@eCosCentric.com>
* src/flash_unlock_block.c (flash_unlock_block): test lock bit

Probably the tarball in:
ftp://ftp.ges.redhat.com/private/gnupro-xscale-030422
That source base is fairly old but was in sync with the cvs sources
at one time.
