Callback .read_post_process() is designed to modify raw cell content
before providing it to the consumer. So far we were dealing with
modifications that didn't affect cell size (length). In some cases
however cell content needs to be reformatted and resized.
It's required e.g. to provide properly formatted MAC address in case
it's stored in a non-binary format (e.g. using ASCII).
There were few discussions how to optimally handle that. Following
possible solutions were considered:
1. Allow .read_post_process() to realloc (resize) content buffer
2. Allow .read_post_process() to adjust (decrease) just buffer length
3. Register NVMEM cells using post-read sizes
The preferred solution was the last one. The problem is that simply
adjusting "bytes" in NVMEM providers would result in core code NOT
passing whole raw data to .read_post_process() callbacks. It means
callback functions couldn't do their job without somehow manually
reading original cell content on their own.
This patch deals with that by registering NVMEM cells with both lengths:
raw content one and post read one. It allows:
1. Core code to read whole raw cell content
2. Callbacks to return content they want
