Subject: [PATCH] eeprom: idt_89hpesx: uninitialized data in idt_dbgfs_csr_write()
Git-commit: 71d46f1ff2212ced4852c7e77c5176382a1bdcec
Patch-mainline: v6.0-rc1
References: git-fixes
The simple_write_to_buffer() function will return positive/success if it
is able to write a single byte anywhere within the buffer. However that
potentially leaves a lot of the buffer uninitialized.
In this code it's better to return 0 if the offset is non-zero. This
code is not written to support partial writes. And then return -EFAULT
if the buffer is not completely initialized.
