[PATCH v2 2/3] nvmem: mtk-efuse: add support for 32-bit aligned reads

From: Roman Vivchar via B4 Relay

Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 07:36:34 EST


From: Roman Vivchar <rva333@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some MediaTek SoCs, such as mt6572, don't support 8-bit reads, leading
to zeroes or garbage data. 32-bit aligned reads must be used instead.

Introduce a 'mtk_reg_read_aligned' helper to enforce 32-bit aligned
register access. All reads will be performed by reading 4-byte words
and masking them.
