Didn't this commit address that problem?

commit 54d68799b73e755923def1306b4da607ad45bd60
Author: Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz>

    libmtd: avoid divide by zero
    
    The concept of erase blocks doesn't apply to mtd-ram devices. Such
    devices set MTD_NO_ERASE to indicate this and some report 0 for the
    erase block size. Avoid a divide by zero when calculating the erase
    block count for such devices.
