I see, but I meant the opposite, if `count` (size of `buf`) is less than 
`cmd_ret->data_len`.

I mean, should we add something like this:

	if (count < cmd_ret->data_len) {
		return -EIO;
	}

I see we do this in other drivers as well (e.g. crb, ftpm), so I'm 
trying to understand why here is not the case.

Thanks,
