From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0d130367abf582e7cbf60075c2a7ab53817b1d14 ] Make sure to log an error on short transfers when reading a device register. Also clear the provided buffer (which if often an uninitialised automatic variable) on errors as the driver currently does not bother to check for errors.
