My comment was about returning -EPERM in this case.
First of all you discarded the possible error code returned from
fs_read() and secondly -EIO would be more appropriate than EPERM in
case of reading less data than expected.

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer and not the
exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread != size
would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the caller
may know by other means, it is obviously an error if actread != size.
Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original patch I
assumed the latter case.

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the size of the
caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call and not
the exact amount of data to be read).
Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken as it
interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get' which may
easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful error
message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size' does not
match the actual amount of data read. 

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file you read is
larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read() will
stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to
notice, that the file was not completely loaded!
