The variable err was never initialized, that means we had been checking a garbage value in the for loop. Moreover if the segment is not outside the firmware file then also we have been returning the garbage. Initialize it to 0 so that on success we return the value and no need to check in the for loop also as it is initially 0 and whenever that value changes we have done a break from the loop.
