... and mtd_erase_callback() already subtracts the necessary offset.
I really don't like our API very much, but it doesn't seem to be broken

When we fix things to cope with flash larger than 4GiB, I think we
should make larger changes to the way that partitioning works as well as
reconsidering the read/write/erase API.
