I compared it with 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git#spi-nor/next 
too. Result is still the same.

I checked SFDP is parsed and these three erase sizes are enumerated
in the for loop in spi_nor_select_uniform_erase().

65536
0
4096

Yes, I read the thread you are upstreaming currently.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220510140232.3519184-1-michael@walle.cc/

Were those tested in CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS enabled build?

As I said above, mine also works if I enable the config but we should
make it work without the config, right?
