Re: cfi_intelext_is_locked() misses get_chip()/put_chip() calls

[Ronald Wahl <ronald.wahl@raritan.com>]

Hi,

a possible fix is renaming the current do_getlockstatus_oneblock() 
function to do_getlockstatus_oneblock_unlocked() and write a new
do_getlockstatus_oneblock() which wraps the *_unlocked function into 
get_chip/put_chip. Additional we need to call the *_unlock function from 
do_xxlock_oneblock because it already helds the chip lock.
