Subject: [PATCH] nvmem/mxs-ocotp: fix buffer overflow in read

This patch fixes the issue where the mxs_ocotp_read is reading
the ocotp in reg_size steps but decrements the remaining size
by 1. The number of iterations is thus four times higher,
overwriting the area behind the output buffer.

Fixes: c01e9a11ab6f ("nvmem: add driver for ocotp in i.MX23 and i.MX28")
