Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Skip erase logic when SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE is set

Even if SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE was set, one could still send erase opcodes
to the flash. It is not recommended to send unsupported opcodes to
flashes. Fix the logic and do not set mtd->_erase when SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE
is specified. With this users will not be able to issue erase opcodes to
flashes and instead they will recive an -ENOTSUPP error.

But why is there an erase opcode and erase size set in the
first place? spi_nor_select_erase() should probably return
early if SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE is set. Not setting the erasesize
would also return -ENOTSUPP. I prefer this one for a fixes
patch, though. But spi_nor_select_erase() should also be
fixed.

Applied to spi-nor/next, thanks!
