Subject: mtd: jedec_probe: Fix crash in jedec_read_mfr()

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

commit 87a73eb5b56fd6e07c8e499fe8608ef2d8912b82 upstream.

It turns out that the loop where we read manufacturer
jedec_read_mfd() can under some circumstances get a
CFI_MFR_CONTINUATION repeatedly, making the loop go
over all banks and eventually hit the end of the
map and crash because of an access violation:

Fix this by breaking the loop with a return 0 if
the offset exceeds the map size.
