mainlining shenanigans

The recent change to split reads into chunks has several problems:
1. If an SPI controller has no transfer size limit, max_chunk is
SIZE_MAX, and num_msgs becomes zero, causing no data to be read
into the buffer, and exposing the original contents of the buffer
to userspace,
2. If the requested read size is not a multiple of the maximum
transfer size, the last transfer reads too much data, overflowing
the buffer,
3. The loop logic differs from the write case.
Fix the above by:
1. Keeping track of the number of bytes that are still to be
transferred, instead of precalculating the number of messages and
keeping track of the number of bytes tranfered,
2. Calculating the transfer size of each individual message, taking
into account the number of bytes left,
3. Switching from a "while"-loop to a "do-while"-loop, and renaming
"msg_count" to "segment".
While at it, drop the superfluous cast from "unsigned int" to "unsigned
int", also from at25_ee_write(), where it was probably copied from.

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.
