This function erases the specified address range in the flash device.

The number of bytes to erase can be any number as long as it is within the bounds of the device(s).

The device is polled until an error or the operation completes successfully.

Note: Due to flash memory design, the range actually erased may be larger than what was specified by the Offset & Bytes parameters. This will occur if the parameters do not align to block boundaries.
