A cast won't work because the first argument to the do_div() macro is
both input and output.

It's not the mtd->writesize argument that is the problem here, but the
'ofs' argument that comes from the loff_t argument in mtdchar_read()
and others (ultimately from the lseek/pread/pwrite/...)

We could change all the function prototypes in struct mtd_info to use
u64 instead of loff_t, but that involve change all MTD drivers and the
subsystem.
