rtc: ds1511: clean up ds1511_nvram_read()/ds1511_nvram_write()
The change removes redundant sysfs binary file boundary checks, since
this task is already done on caller side in fs/sysfs/file.c
The change enables burst mode of access to SRAM for any read()/write()
operations, it is worth to mention that this may influence on
userspace, for instance prior to the change
read(fd, buf, 1);
read(fd, buf + 1, 1);
and
read(fd, buf, 2);
sequences of syscalls over DS1511's sysfs "nvram" fd led to different
DS1511 state changes and/or buf content, if some userspace applications
are written specifically for DS1511 and exploit this strange
"feature", they may be impacted.
Also the change corrects NVRAM size accessible to userspace from 255
bytes to 256 bytes.
