The second part of your patch was the correct one -- setting instr->state 
to MTD_ERASE_DONE on completion. When the erase fails immediately, it's not 
required to set instr->state to MTD_ERASE_FAILED. That's only necessary if 
the chip driver does asynchronous operation, and returns from the erase 
function before the operation has completed.
