+Subject: [PATCH 45/96] mtd: spi-nor: write support for minor aligned
+ partitions
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Do not prevent writing to mtd partitions where a partition boundary sits
+on a minor erasesize boundary.
+This addresses a FIXME that has been present since the start of the
+linux git history:
+/* Doesn't start on a boundary of major erase size */
+/* FIXME: Let it be writable if it is on a boundary of
+ * _minor_ erase size though */
+
+Allow a uniform erase region spi-nor device to be configured
+to use the non-uniform erase regions code path for an erase with:
+CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_VARIABLE_ERASE=y
+
+On supporting hardware (SECT_4K: majority of current SPI-NOR device)
+provide the facility for an erase to use the least number
+of SPI-NOR operations, as well as access to 4K erase without
+requiring CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS
+
+Introduce erasesize_minor to the mtd struct,
+the smallest erasesize supported by the device
+
+On existing devices, this is useful where write support is wanted
+for data on a 4K partition, such as some u-boot-env partitions,
+or RouterBoot soft_config, while still netting the performance
+benefits of using 64K sectors
+
+Performance:
+time mtd erase firmware
+OpenWrt 5.10 ramips MT7621 w25q128jv 0xfc0000 partition length
