Subject: [PATCH 12/14] nvmem: make the misaligned raw_len non-fatal

From: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@...aro.org>

The commit 11ccaa312111 ("nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len") enforced
the raw read len being aligned to the NVMEM's word_size. However this
change broke some of the platforms, because those used misaligned
reads. Make this error non-fatal for the drivers that didn't specify
raw_len directly and just increase the raw_len making it aligned.

Fixes: 11ccaa312111 ("nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len")
