Mhh I suspect there's still a misunderstanding, these function names
are really confusing ahah.
What about check_map_access*_type*. which is also called by
check_helper_mem_access (before check_map_access):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/tree/kernel/bpf/verifier.c#n4329

Your message sounds like we should skip it so I was asking if that's
what you also implicitly meant or if you missed it?

It's alright, I can keep an extra check just for safety. :)
