[PATCH] mtd: mtdchar: Exit write loop when hitting end of OTP memory

[Christian Riesch]

If a write to one time programmable memory (OTP) hits the end
of this memory area, no more data can be written and count does not
decrease anymore. We are trapped in the loop forever.

Therefore drop the remaining data if retlen != len.
