http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-September/134347.html allows for reading files in chunks from the shell.
When this feature is used to read past the end of a file an error was returned instead of returning the bytes read up to the end of file. Thus the following fails in the shell:
offset = 0 len = chunksize do read file, offset, len write data until bytes_read < len
The patch changes the behaviour to printing an informational message and returning the actual read number of bytes aka read(2) behaviour for convenient use in U-Boot scripts.
