This patch sets the actual size of binary file to the nvmem size.
Previously this was not possible as the core was using the static global
data structures for attributes.

Why does the size matter?  What userspace tool needs to know this?

thanks,

Yes, you are correct, sized should not matter as read would return EOF 
anyway.
I think I overdone this :-)
