[PATCH] mtd: phram: Prevent divide by zero bug in phram_setup()

The problem is that "erasesize" is a uint32_t type so it might be
non-zero but the truncated "(uint32_t)erasesize" value *is* zero. That
would lead to the divide by zero bug.

Avoid the bug by delaying the divide until after we have validated
that "erasesize" is reasonable.
