Hi,

Coverity has reported that inside the function "onenand_block_by_block_erase()" in onenand_base.c, we should add checks to prevent the incrementing of possible NULL value for "region"
Thanks a lot to Adrian Hunter for suggesting a better solution.

The commit message should not contain that long lines - use max 80
lines. The commit message should not start with "Hi". The subject should
be short and more high level - the details go to the commit message.
Could you please improve this and re-submit?
