The point is whether to define a short read as failure and return an
error code in this case or just let the caller know the actual amount
of data read. If you always return the actual number of bytes read (or
a negative error code), no matter whether it matches the requested size
or not, the caller has all information to handle the situation
correctly. It could just request a new chunk for the missing bytes in
case of a short read, or handle a short read as an error condition at
its own discretion. So there is no need to check the actual read size
in your function.

But probably this discussion is completely vain, since if you want to
load a piece of firmware, you would probably check for the existence
of the file and its size beforehand, allocate a sufficiently large
buffer and then call request_firmware_into_buf() with the correct size.
Thus the situation actread != size should never occur anyway in
practice.
