In case of overlaid regions in which their biggest erase size command overpasses in size the region's size, only the non-overlaid portion of the sector gets erased. For example, if a Sector Erase command is applied to a 256-kB range that is overlaid by 4-kB sectors, the overlaid 4-kB sectors are not affected by the erase. For overlaid regions, 'region->size' is assigned to 'cmd->size' later in spi_nor_init_erase_cmd(), so 'erase->size' can be greater than 'len'.
