 ---[ end trace 0f652dd222de75d7 ]---

In the function mtd_otp_size() a buffer is allocated by calling
kmalloc() and a pointer to the buffer is stored in a variable 'info'.
The pointer 'info' may then be incremented depending on the length
returned from mtd_get_user/fact_prot_info(). If 'info' is incremented,
when kfree() is called to free the buffer the above panic occurs because
we are no longer passing the original address of the buffer allocated.
Fix this by indexing through the buffer allocated to avoid incrementing
the pointer.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
