Yes, it is correct!

I could not parse "dfu->data.nand.size includes dfu->offset, but
dfu->data.nand.start doesn't" ... What do you mean?

I need to calculate "opts-offset" and "opts.length" for nand_erase_opts():
opts.offset contains the starting sector where the erase should begin
      dfu->data.nand.start is equal to the starting sector of the
      partition, so this is needed here + dfu->offset + dfu->bad_skip
      and we are at our starting point.

opts.length contains the count of sectors to erase.
      I just did here end_sector - start_sector with:
      end_sector = dfu->data.nand.start + dfu->data.nand.size
      start_sector = opts.offset

Maybe my calculation of opts.length is confusing, and I should
use "dfu->data.nand.size - dfu->offset - dfu->bad_skip" ?

You are right! Fixed!

Thanks!
