I also tried to fix the issue and made a fix like below.

diff --git a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c

-               if (tested_erase->size == wanted_size) {
+               if (wanted_size && tested_erase->size == wanted_size) {
                         erase = tested_erase;
                         break;
                 }

Tested that it makes the INFO(0xef6020, 0, 0, 0) setting work and a
selected mtd->erasesize is 65536 which is what I expected for this
device.

Not sure if it's a right fix or not. Please review and let me know if
it's good to submit or not.

Thanks,

Jae
