The STM32H7 family has 2 banks of flash (with 2 hardware controllers
able to do 2 parallel operations at the same time).
Each bank of flash has 4 or 8 128-kB erase blocks (1MB and 2MB
variants).
The flash can only be written by 256-bit word (with an additional 10-bit
ECC computed by the hardware).
For the flash write-protection, we cannot use our 'classical' PSTATE
scheme as the erase-blocks are too large (128-kB) to dedicate one to
this and the embedded word in the RO partition would not work as the
flash has ECC and triggers bus-fault when the ECC is incorrect (which
includes the case where the 256-bit word is written a second time).
So we will do the following:
- use the RSS1 bit in the option bytes as the Write-Protect enabled bit.
- if the WP GPIO is set, lock at startup the option bytes until next
reboot.
