The driver does not populate .reg_read callback for the non-active NVMem
because the file is supposed to be write-only. However, it turns out
NVMem subsystem does not yet support this and expects that the .reg_read
callback is provided. If user reads the binary attribute it triggers
NULL pointer dereference like this one:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
...
Call Trace:
bin_attr_nvmem_read+0x64/0x80
kernfs_fop_read+0xa7/0x180
vfs_read+0xbd/0x170
ksys_read+0x5a/0xd0
do_syscall_64+0x43/0x150
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
Fix this in the driver by providing .reg_read callback that always
returns an error.

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.
