SPI NOR gets the non uniform erase code cleaned. We stopped using
bitmasks for erase types and flags, and instead introduced dedicated
members. We then passed the SPI NOR erase map to MTD. Users can now
determine the erase regions and make informed decisions on partitions
size.
mtd: spi-nor: core: set mtd->eraseregions for non-uniform erase map
Some of Infineon SPI NOR flash devices support hybrid sector layout that
overlays 4KB sectors on a 256KB sector and SPI NOR framework recognizes
that by parsing SMPT and construct params->erase_map. The hybrid sector
layout is similar to CFI flash devices that have small sectors on top
and/or bottom address. In case of CFI flash devices, the erase map
information is parsed through CFI table and populated into
mtd->eraseregions so that users can create MTD partitions that aligned
with small sector boundaries. This patch provides the same capability to
SPI NOR flash devices that have non-uniform erase map.
