protect - enable flash write protection
=======================================

Usage
^^^^^
``protect DEVICE [AREA]``

Synopsis
^^^^^^^^
Protect the flash memory behind the device. It depends on the device
given, what area will be protected. If the device represents the whole
flash memory, the whole memory will be protected. If the device
represents a partition on a main flash memory, only this partition part
will be protected.

Use 'addpart' and 'delpart' to manage partitions.
