kernel: add support for limiting 4K erase sector support based on flash chip size
Some targets need 4K sectors for small flash chips (e.g. some routerboards, where the entire chip is just one "erase block"), whereas on other devices 4K sectors lead to horrible flash erase/write performance. Set the default limit in the generic kernel configuration to 4 MiB to ensure that all new platforms don't use 4K sectors for bigger flash chips. On all existing targets use 16 MiB for now to avoid regressions. They will be changed individually in follow-up commits. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>owl

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: support limiting 4K sectors support based on
|
||||
flash size
|
||||
|
||||
Some devices need 4K sectors to be able to deal with small flash chips.
|
||||
For instance, w25x05 is 64 KiB in size, and without 4K sectors, the
|
||||
entire chip is just one erase block.
|
||||
On bigger flash chip sizes, using 4K sectors can significantly slow down
|
||||
many operations, including using a writable filesystem. There are several
|
||||
platforms where it makes sense to use a single kernel on both kinds of
|
||||
devices.
|
||||
|
||||
To support this properly, allow configuring an upper flash chip size
|
||||
limit for 4K sectors support.
