It is possible to find variable entries with State being 0xff, i.e. not
updated since flash block erase. This indicates the variable driver
could not complete the header write while appending a new entry, and
therefore State was not set to VAR_HEADER_VALID_ONLY.
This can only happen at the end of the variable list, so treat this as
additional "end of variable list" condition.
