If the flash features a Complement (CMP) bit, we can protect with
more granularity above half of the capacity. Let's lock all but one
block, then unlock one more block::
root@1:~# all_but_one=$((($size / $bs) - ($ss / $bs)))
root@1:~# flash_lock -u /dev/mtd0
root@1:~# flash_lock -l /dev/mtd0 $ss $all_but_one # all but the first
root@1:~# show_sectors
