SubjectRe: [PATCH] mtd: cast to u64 to avoid unexpected error
Hi Huijin,

Subject prefix should be "mtd: spi-nor: ...", and please replace
"unexpected error" by "unsigned int overflows".

^ if the result
overflows an unsigned int.

^casts info->sector_size to an u64.

^ this cast is not needed.

BTW, I doubt we'll ever have to deal with NORs that are more than 4GB,
but making static code analysis tools happy and enforcing code
correctness is important too.
