Use imperative mood: Check offset …

For `sizeof()` shouldn’t you use `size_t`? But that is unsigned of 
course. Maybe ssize_t then?

Why not keep it like before, and just add the condition `skb->len < 
sizeof(MTK_COREDUMP_END)`? The compiler is probably going to optimize so 
the value is not calculated twice.


Kind regards,
