This was in the original code, but I wonder where the + 1 comes from.
Does anyone know?

To be honest, I would prefer if we just checked:

if (elt->length < sizeof(struct oz_get_desc_rsp) + 1)
return;
data_len = elt->length - sizeof(struct oz_get_desc_rsp) + 1;

Shouldn't there be an upper bound on length? Shigekatsu?
