Subject: [PATCH 1/4] nvmem: core: Read into buffers larger than data
Date: Tue,  6 Feb 2024 15:37:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240206143711.2410135-2-msp@baylibre.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240206143711.2410135-1-msp@baylibre.com>

The actual size that nvmem is using internally on a specific platform
with a specific devicetree may not be known in the consumer code. The
maximum size may be available at the same time.

Allow the use of larger buffers in nvmem_cell_read_common() by setting
buffers that are too large to zero before copying into them.
