The series doesn't explain what a driver is supposed to do if it
only transfers part of the data but not all of it due to an error,
or because the request exceeded the size of the media.

For example, this driver still returns an error code if it successfully
transferred some data but not all of it, or if more data was requested
than is available.

I didn't check other drivers, but I would assume that many of them
have the same or a similar problem.
