Is there any reason why you are not using the nor->erase() hook? As far 
as I can see it should also be able to perform the same erase while 
avoiding all the boilerplate needed for keeping track of address, 
remaining erase, write enable, error handling, etc.

One problem I can see is that you don't always increment address by 
nor->erasesize. That can change depending on which sector got erased. 
spi_nor_erase() can't currently handle that. But IMO a reasonable fix 
for this would be to return the size actually erased in nor->erase(), 
like how it is done for the unix read() and write() system calls. A 
negative value would still mean an error but now a positive return value 
will tell the caller how much data was actually erased.

I think it is a relatively easy refactor and worth doing.

spi_nor_erase() does some sanity checking for instr->len. Even more 
reason to use nor->erase() so we don't have to duplicate that code.

Ok.

Patch 9/10 does not check for uniform sector size configuration. But if 
the check is to be added later, passing 0 to ovlsz_top and ovlsz_btm 
will do the right thing because erasesize will end up equal to 
mtd->erasesize in both cases. Neat!

Ok.

I recall a patch for Linux by Tudor recently that moved some code like 
this to after spi_nor_wait_till_ready(). Let's do so here as well. Of 
course, this will not matter if you are using nor->erase() instead. The 
problem will still be there since spi_nor_erase() also does this but 
that is a separate fix.
