[PATCH v9 03/12] nvmem: core: Enforce stride and alignment checks for nvmem_device functions
From: Gregor Herburger
Date: Wed Nov 11 2026 - 02:29:42 EST
The stride and word_size attributes in the nvmem_config struct are
currently only used when reading/writing through sysfs functions
bin_attr_nvmem_read/bin_attr_nvmem_write and in the nvmem_cell api.
Reads and writes with nvmem_device_write/nvmem_device_read still allow
unaligned access.
Add a check to these functions to enforce word_size and stride_length
aligned reads and writes.
