Erasing an AMD linear flash card (AM29F016D) crashes after the first
sector has been erased. Likewise, writing to it crashes after two bytes
have been written. The reason is a missing check for a null pointer -
the cmdset_priv field is not set for this type of card.

I posted this patch before, but I did some rookie mistakes, such as
only sending to the list and not to any maintainers. The patch format
was also broken. I hope it's better now. The actual code change is the
same.
