Subject: mtd: Fix partition alignment check on multi-erasesize devices
From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7e439681af82984045efc215437ebb2ca8d33a4c upstream.
Commit 1eeef2d7483a ("mtd: handle partitioning on devices with 0
erasesize") introduced a regression on heterogeneous erase region
devices. Alignment of the partition was tested against the master
eraseblock size which can be bigger than the slave one, thus leading
to some partitions being marked as read-only.
Update wr_alignment to match this slave erasesize after this erasesize
has been determined by picking the biggest erasesize of all the regions
embedded in the MTD partition.
