Considering that only a small number of devices are unable to handle write-protect detection (I've seen reports for no more than two), maybe we should just make it into another unusual_devs flag? That way there's nothing to configure either during a build or at runtime. Originally we made it a config option because it caused trouble so often. But now that we always request a 192-byte transfer, it almost never fails. Changing it to a device flag would be the simplest approach.
