Trivial in this case, but in general: can we please add
the name or document number (not just the URL) for datasheets
and other documentation?  Vendors just _love_ to rearrange
their websites (and some pull their old docs altogether);
if we have the name/number (or even just the filename of
the pdf) at least there's a chance to google for it again
(either on the vendor's site or on some archive).

A 0 too many.

But you balanced it by dropping an F :-)

The bit is misnamed in the datasheet: it's the "write enable"
bit, not the "write protect enable" (which would be "write disable").

Warning only?  It's pretty damn fatal :-)  Or does this mean
"trying to continue anyway" (which might not be such a great
plan for a utility that can brick your system)?

Would be nice if this message could be made a bit less cryptic,
for example, "WARNING: failed setting %s register %#x to %#x\n".
Yes I realise this is probably copied all over the place ;-)
