nvmem: layouts: u-boot-env: add optional "env-size" property
Some devices reserve a larger NVMEM region for the U-Boot environment than the actual environment data length used by U-Boot itself. The CRC32 in the U-Boot header is calculated over the smaller data length, causing CRC validation to fail when Linux reads the full partition. Allow an optional device tree property "env-size" to specify the environment data size to use for CRC computation. v2: add missing $ref line to DT binding Signed-off-by: Jascha Sundaresan <flizarthanon@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Rob Herring (Arm) <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srini@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251114110636.143268-5-srini@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
