Subject[PATCH 5.10 329/545] eeprom: idt_89hpesx: uninitialized data in idt_dbgfs_csr_write()
Date
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 71d46f1ff2212ced4852c7e77c5176382a1bdcec ]

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.
