Subject: [PATCH] fw_env: keep calling read() until whole flash block is read
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's totally valid for read() to provide less bytes than requested
maximum. It may happen if there is no more data available yet or source
pushes data in small chunks.

This actually happens when trying to read env data from NVMEM device.
Kernel may provide NVMEM content in page size parts (like 4096 B).

This fixes warnings like:
Warning on /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/u-boot-env0/nvmem: Attempted to read 16384 bytes but got 4096
Warning on /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/u-boot-env0/nvmem: Attempted to read 12288 bytes but got 4096
Warning on /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/u-boot-env0/nvmem: Attempted to read 8192 bytes but got 4096

Since the main loop in flash_read_buf() is used to read blocks this
patch adds a new nested one.
