[PATCH] accel/ivpu: prevent uninitialized data bug in debugfs

From: Dan Carpenter

Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 03:15:04 EST


The simple_write_to_buffer() will only initialize data starting from
the *pos offset so if it's non-zero then the first part of the buffer
uninitialized. Really, if *pos is non-zero then this code won't work
so just check for that at the start of the function.

Fixes: 320323d2e545 ("accel/ivpu: Add debugfs interface for setting HWS priority bands")
