.n_sectors is rarely used. In fact it is only used in swp.c and to calculate the flash size in the core. The use in swp.c might be converted to use the (largest) flash erase size. For now, we just locally calculate the sector size. Simplify the flash_info database and set the size of the flash directly. This also let us use the SZ_x macros. Verified that there's no flash that specifies BP and sector size of zero to make sure we avoid a division by zero in spi_nor_get_min_prot_length_sr(). We'll protect from a possible division by zero in a further patch by introducing a default value for sector_size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
