erasesize is meaningful for flash devices but for SRAM there is no
concept of an erase block so erasesize is set to 0. When partitioning
these devices instead of ensuring partitions fall on erasesize
boundaries we ensure they fall on writesize boundaries.

Changes in v3:
- new
Changes in v4:
- None
Changes in v5:
- None (yet). There is some active discussion on this so it may change.
  patch 4/5 is somewhat dependent on this but only if partitions are
  specified on the dt node.
  Changes in v6:
- Use MTD_NO_ERASE flag to decide whether to use writesize or erasesize
  for alignment purposes
