[PATCH v2] crypto: hisilicon - allow smaller reads in debugfs

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Jun 02 2020 - 09:54:43 EST


Originally this code rejected any read less than 256 bytes. There
is no need for this artificial limit. We should just use the normal
helper functions to read a string from the kernel.

v2: Use simple_read_from_buffer(). The v1 was slightly half arsed
because I left the original check for:

if (*pos)
return 0;

So it could result in partial reads. The new code means that if you
want to read the buffer one byte at a time, that's fine or if you want
to read it in one 256 byte chunk that's also fine. Plus it deletes 21
lines of code and is a lot cleaner.
