I'm thinking more of this situation:

* I reset and try to write something to the flash
* It will fail, since the protection is on.
* I check the flash, with flash info 0, I see the protection on
* I issue flash protect 0 0 last off
* I check to see if the operation was OK, by looking at "flash info 0"
* At this point, the information I see is invalid. If I don't trust
OpenOCD, I just
move on and write to flash.
* If I trust OpenOCD, I start wasting time investigating what went wrong.

This can be a bit frustrating, because the last thing you want is your tools
starting to lie on you :) If it's something wrong or impossible, I
would like to
inform the user.

Regards,
Edgar
