commit 9a626577398c24ecab63c0a684436c8928092367 upstream.
Commit fd307a4ad332 ("nvmem: prepare basics for FRAM support") added
support for FRAM devices such as the Cypress FM25V. During testing, it
was found that the FRAM detects properly, however reads and writes fail.
Upon further investigation, two problem were found in at25_probe() routine.
1) In the case of an FRAM device without platform data, eg.
fram == true && spi->dev.platform_data == NULL
the stack local variable "struct spi_eeprom chip" is not initialized
fully, prior to being copied into at25->chip. The chip.flags field in
particular can cause problems.
2) The byte_len of FRAM is computed from its ID register, and is stored
into the stack local "struct spi_eeprom chip" structure. This happens
after the same structure has been copied into at25->chip. As a result,
at25->chip.byte_len does not contain the correct length of the device.
In turn this can cause checks at beginning of at25_ee_read() to fail
(or equally, it could allow reads beyond the end of the device length).
Fix both of these issues by eliminating the on-stack struct spi_eeprom.
Instead use the one inside at25_data structure, which starts of zeroed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
