Thanks Sudip, it seems like this error is in some of the others ioctl's 
as well. Do you want to send a patch with the fixes for them all?

I can find a similar error in nvm_ioctl_info(). I will have a close look
tomorrow and send a patch. Is this patch applied or should I send a
combined patch fixing all these similar errors?

Sure, That'll be great. Then I'll apply it.

A combined will be great. It fixes the same type of error. Thank you.
