Well, i can do it either way.

Then we are left with this:
>> int spc_memcpy(uint8_t *dst, uint8_t *src, uint32_t src_len, uint32_t
>> *remain_len)
>> {
>>         int copy_len = min_t(uint32_t, *remain_len, src_len);
>>         if (copy_len) {
>>                 memcpy(dst, src, copy_len);
>>                 *remain_len -= copy_len;
>>         }
>>         return copy_len;
>> }

As such changes affect the entire patchset, I'd prefer to finalize all
decisions before resending, especially regrading names, locations etc.

Is it ok as appears above?

Also regarding the other function:

Do you have other comments?
