I thought there was some macro to do this bitwise modulo operation
already , so you don't have to implement it here. I don't mean do_div, no.

return i++ is the same as return ++i;

More like a description would be most welcome, in the actual code. And I
really dislike how you fiddle around with void pointers, can't that be
fixed?

You can send them, but what happens if it fails mid-way ? Is the user
somehow notified that part of his flash is empty and part is not ?
