Well, one argument would be that LOCK/UNLOCK in itself won't modify data
and thus does not need write permission.. Although can brick a flash
from ever being writable again and change content of flash registers.
I am fine with moving these to require write permissions as well
(probably OTPLOCK as well).

This is checked in the op itself, as it is done for all the
other OTP read/write/lock ops.
Right at the moment, I don't see how this could be achieved in
an elegant way. Without additional changes, you'd have to call
mtd_get_user_prot_info() and iterate over the returned values
and figure out whether from and len are valid.

[RFC PATCH] mtd: add OTP (one-time-programmable) erase ioctl
This may sound like a contradiction but some SPI-NOR flashes really
support erasing their OTP region until it is finally locked. Having the
possibility to erase an OTP region might come in handy during
development.
The ioctl argument follows the OTPLOCK style.

OTP support for SPI-NOR flashes may be merged soon:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20210216162807.13509-1-mich...@walle.cc/
Tudor suggested to add support for the OTP erase operation most SPI-NOR
flashes have:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/d4f74b1b-fa1b-97ec-858c-d807fe1f9...@microchip.com/
Therefore, this is an RFC to get some feedback on the MTD side, once this
is finished, I can post a patch for mtd-utils. Then we'll have a foundation
to add the support to SPI-NOR.
