+This is a feature of the card and not of the kernel. If the card does
+not support boot partition locking, the file will not exist. If the
+feature has been disabled on the card, the file will be read-only.
+
+The boot partitions can also be locked permanently, but this feature is
+not accessible through sysfs in order to avoid accidental or malicious
+bricking.
