Commit 5390a8df769e removed the following:

@@ -2521,20 +2962,20 @@ static int spi_nor_init_params(struct spi_nor *nor,
-       /* Override the parameters with data read from SFDP tables. */
-       nor->addr_width = 0;
-       nor->mtd.erasesize = 0;

this is good because nor is allocated with _kzalloc by all it's callers. Should
we add a comment when declaring spi_nor structure or it's widely known that it
should be initialized with zeros?

[cut]
-               if (spi_nor_parse_sfdp(nor, &sfdp_params)) {
-                       nor->addr_width = 0;

removal of nor->addr_width = 0; is bad, and must be reintroduced because
nor->addr_width is modified inside spi_nor_parse_sfdp()

-                       nor->mtd.erasesize = 0;
this removal is good, because we don't overwrite nor->mtd.erasesize in
spi_nor_parse_sfdp()

I should have sent this changes in a separate patch, sorry.

Thanks!
