[U-Boot-Users] Sector size with CFI driver?

When using the CFI driver, how is the sector size determined?
The reason I ask is that I have two different versions of U-Boot for my board,
both developed in-house. One version is based on 1.1.3, and the other on
1.1.5. The 1.1.5 version cannot erase/program the last sector on the first
flash bank. Also, the 1.1.3 says this when I do flinfo:
Bank # 1: CFI conformant FLASH (16 x 16) Size: 8 MB in 135 Sectors
Erase timeout 16384 ms, write timeout 1 ms, buffer write timeout 1 ms,
buffer size 1
Sector Start Addresses:
FE000000 FE002000 FE004000 FE006000 FE008000
FE00A000 FE00C000 FE00E000 FE010000 FE020000
And the 1.1.5 version says:
Bank # 1: CFI compatible FLASH (16 port width with 16 chip width)
Command set is AMD/Fujitsu standard. Driver is polling DQ6 for status checking.
Size: 8 MB in 135 Sectors
Erase timeout 16384 ms, write timeout 0 ms, buffer write timeout 1 ms,
buffer size 1
Sector Start Addresses:
FE000000 FE010000 FE020000 FE030000 FE040000
FE050000 FE060000 FE070000 FE080000 FE090000
As you can see the sector sizes are different, but everything else is the same.
Both versions have this:
#define CFG_FLASH_CFI
#define CFG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
#define CFG_FLASH_BASE 0xFE000000
#define CFG_FLASH_SIZE 16
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS 2
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_SECT 135
so I can't figure out why one works and the other doesn't.
