No, these are orthogonal. If you keep wanted_size to zero, then
spi_nor_select_uniform_erase() will return NULL, doesn't it?


Maybe to adapt the code to something like
diff --git a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c
index 21cefe2864ba..dd6cd852d1ef 100644
--- a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c
+++ b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c
@@ -2148,7 +2148,7 @@ static int spi_nor_select_erase(struct spi_nor *nor)
        struct spi_nor_erase_map *map = &nor->params->erase_map;
        const struct spi_nor_erase_type *erase = NULL;
        struct mtd_info *mtd = &nor->mtd;
-       u32 wanted_size = nor->info->sector_size;
+       u32 wanted_size = nor->params->sector_size;

and fill nor->params->sector_size even when no SFDP

Also, params->size = (u64)info->sector_size * info->n_sectors; from
spi_nor_init_default_params() becomes superfluous. I would check
the fields that I don't initialize in flash_info with SNOR_ID3
and check how I can mitigate their absence throughout the code.
