Callback .read_post_process() is designed to modify raw cell content before providing it to the consumer. So far we were dealing with modifications that didn't affect cell size (length). In some cases however cell content needs to be reformatted and resized. It's required e.g. to provide properly formatted MAC address in case it's stored in a non-binary format (e.g. using ASCII). There were few discussions how to optimally handle that. Following possible solutions were considered: 1. Allow .read_post_process() to realloc (resize) content buffer 2. Allow .read_post_process() to adjust (decrease) just buffer length 3. Register NVMEM cells using post-read sizes The preferred solution was the last one. The problem is that simply adjusting "bytes" in NVMEM providers would result in core code NOT passing whole raw data to .read_post_process() callbacks. It means callback functions couldn't do their job without somehow manually reading original cell content on their own. This patch deals with that by registering NVMEM cells with both lengths: raw content one and post read one. It allows: 1. Core code to read whole raw cell content 2. Callbacks to return content they want Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230404172148.82422-35-srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
