Short write has always been an error (I won't repeat for the remaining
patches).

Are you sure that the device always returns CYPRESS_MAX_REQSIZE here?
Otherwise, this change may break the driver as it currently only uses
the first two bytes of the received message, and only for some requests.
Note that the driver appears uses the same helper function for
CYPRESS_WRITE_PORT commands, which probably doesn't return 8 bytes in a
reply.
You could possibly add the missing short read check for the
CYPRESS_READ_PORT case, but I'm afraid that the new helper are not a
good fit here either.
