I'm looking at Sharp Spec No. FM037006, Issue Date: June 18, 2003

You are right that the erase block size is 64kB as shown e.g. in figure
3. This is not touched by my patch, though. Taking a close look at table
8, I read it as: The whole block locking bit (affecting the whole flash
chip area 0-1M) is possibly accessible each 4KB, but no matter what
address you use, you get to the same single "master write protect" bit.
This bit is located at data bit 1. On the other hand, the bits locking
only parts of the flash chip are mentioned in the lines below that, with
a "Protected address range of 128KB each and addresses of F0002h,
F2002h, F4002h, F6002h, F8002h, FA002h, FC002h and FE002h. These 8
"sector-specific" lock bits are located at bit 0. Nowhere this table
mentions anything about bits affecting only 8KB sized areas.

On the other hand, text of the data sheet nowhere mentions the
sectorwise locking - it is just in the table. I have no idea how to read
that.
