Odd grammar... May be "typically used with eMMC to store ..."

Why not have bnv passed as argument directly ?

offs = from & PAGE_MASK;

from being an int is really odd though.

How can bytes_left be 0 here given the above loop with no break ?

Why ? Is that defined in some standards somewhere ?

If there is not, why would this function even be called ?

Curly brackets for list_for_each_entry() {} would be nice, even though they are
not strictly necessary in this case.

These could go at the end of the static inline line.
