Hello Stefan,

> flash bank has less sectors than the last used flash bank.

> This patch adds two cheks. One that insures, that the current sector does
> not exceed the allowed maximum (which is always a good idea). And one that
> checks if the current access is to the same flash bank as the last access.
> If not, the search loop will start with sector 0.
