Yep, I forgot to do this change.

Just a comment (which should not prevent you from applying this patch).
Isn't it a bit overkill to cast the erasesize to a 64 bit value, and
then do a do_div on it. Shouldn't happen often though, because
->writesize_shift should be != 0 in most (all?) cases.

Another related remark: with the MLC/paired pages stuff I'll have to
retrieve this information (number of write units per erase block) quite
often, so maybe we should have a field (and/or an helper) for that.

Thanks,

Boris
