    devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes · c85e9a97
    Wu Fengguang authored
    write_kmem() used to assume vwrite() always return the full buffer length.
    However now vwrite() could return 0 to indicate memory hole.  This
    creates a bug that "buf" is not advanced accordingly.
    
    Fix it to simply ignore the return value, hence the memory hole.
