The kernel config CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS, which is enabled by default is removed. Unit Test: cisco@sonic:~$ grep CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS /boot/config-5.10.0-18-2-amd64 # CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS is not set cisco@sonic:~$ findmnt -n /mnt/obfl /mnt/obfl ubi0 ubifs rw,relatime,assert=read-only,ubi=0,vol=0 * Addressed PR comments. * Removed the config from amd64 arch.
