+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.
