This can overflow the memory allocated to val, we should be careful here not to do so. limit this to sizeof(u32) should be good. Also add some sanity checks to make sure that len is atleast 4 bytes.

The function looks nothing IMX specific, and could be a nvmem core
function?

@Srinivas, thoughts?
Yep, this function looks generic, can be moved to nvmem layer.

Thanks,
