From: Himadri Pandya <himadrispandya@gmail.com> commit a092b7233f0e000cc6f2c71a49e2ecc6f917a5fc upstream. The buffer size is 2 Bytes and we expect to receive the same amount of data. But sometimes we receive less data and run into uninit-was-stored issue upon read. Hence modify the error check on the return value to match with the buffer size as a prevention.
