 ---[ 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.
