You might want to work on the commit message a little, something like
the following, but feel free to reword as seen fit.

The 'retlen' points to a variable representing the number of data bytes 
written/read (see include/linux/mtd/mtd.h) by the current invocation of
the function. This variable must be set, not incremented.

Otherwise, the patch is correct I believe:
