Sorry, this patch was generated using 'diff'. Below is the correct patch.

This patch fixes the 'length' calculation.
Making it:
       mtdLockInfo.length = (num_sectors - 1) * mtdInfo.erasesize;
Rather:
       mtdLockInfo.length = num_sectors * mtdInfo.erasesize;

Say there are 240 blocks present in the device. Then:
offset starts from: 0x0
and full size of device: 0x1E00000

doing: 240 * 0x20000 gives -> 0x1E00000
But last block address should be 0x1DE0000 (which spans for 0x20000
bytes, adding upto size of 0x1E00000)
