From 3b4a687726f0019115bd903d9724db6cdcbb00fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Gautam Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2017 23:02:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: Allow ignoring length when reading a cell nvmem_cell_read() API fills in the argument 'len' with the number of bytes read from the cell. Many users don't care about this length value. So allow users to pass a NULL pointer to this len field.
