It seems that commit 243e6f69c129 ("m25p80: Switch to byte-based block access") 
is bringing another issue :

qemu-system-arm: 
/home/legoater/work/qemu/qemu-ast2400-mainline.git/block/io.c:1252: 
bdrv_aligned_pwritev: Assertion `!qiov || bytes == qiov->size' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

The flash page size is 256. 

How should we handle this ? 

Thanks,

C.
