How to cope with locked flash

How do you people cope with flash devices that power up locked?

I have intel K3 devices which are unlocked by flash_unlocke in the /etc/inittab
while booting the system.
However, if the fs was never mounted before the jffs2 hangs with this
in an endless loop:

jffs2_write_dirent in garbage_collect_dirent failed: -30
Write of 43 bytes at 0x00363928 failed. returned -30, retlen 0
Not marking the space at 0x00363928 as dirty because the flash driver returned retlen zero

Is there any help to avoid this situation?
