errloc stores bit positions of errors returned by decode_bch().
The maximum number of correctable errors is ecc_bits, so errloc
must have ecc_bits entries. The array was allocated with data_length
entries instead, which is the number of EEPROM data bytes -- orders
of magnitude larger than needed and incorrect.

Good catch, thanks for fixing this.
