Please remove the settings->size check. The driver sometimes just
writes a modified version of the read settings data. This would fail if
stored size is invalid. This value of size is not solely in my hands, I
can't guarantee Windows driver does a sanity check, also cases of flash
data corruption are known.
My general design agenda is that in my userspace tools I make sure only
valid data (to the best of knowledge) is prepared for the device. In
the kernel driver I don't (or didn't) do additional checks and
eventually let the hardware reject things it doesn't like. This way the
kernel driver doesn't need an update if firmware updates change the
binary interface. This happend in the past, but won't for this device
anymore because it's oop for years.
