Meaning of "(OF)" or "(OF+)" in linux kernel crash report

I am trying to know the meaning of these symbols i.e "(OF)" or "(OF)+" specified along with module name in Linux kernel trace. Can some one help to understand this as i am unable to find anything about this online.

Here is the trace i got.
