From: Jennifer Berringer jberring@redhat.com
When __nvmem_cell_entry_write() is called for an nvmem cell that does not need bit shifting, it requires that the len parameter exactly matches the nvmem cell size. However, when the nvmem cell has a nonzero bit_offset, it was skipping this check.
Accepting values of len larger than the cell size results in nvmem_cell_prepare_write_buffer() trying to write past the end of a heap buffer that it allocates. Add a check to avoid that problem and instead return -EINVAL when len doesn't match the number of bits expected by the nvmem cell when bit_offset is nonzero.
This check uses cell->nbits in order to allow providing the smaller size to cells that are shifted into another byte by bit_offset. For example, a cell with nbits=8 and nonzero bit_offset would have bytes=2 but should accept a 1-byte write here, although no current callers depend on this.
