Comment(by hailfinger):

 Moving read before erase as a single simple patch is

 Acked-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006 at gmx.net>

 That leaves us with another question: Should -Erwv or any other read/write
 combinations be allowed? I think the semantics of read+write are totally
 unclear. If you perform read, erase, write, verify (in that order) it
 means that you just rewrite ROM contents. That may or may not be desired,
 but it sure would work for testing read/write/erase operations.
