Subject: [PATCH v4 00/18] ARM: davinci: step towards removing at24_platform_data

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

Since I took over maintainership of the at24 driver I've been working
towards removing at24_platform_data in favor for device properties.

DaVinci is the only platform that's still using it - all other users
have already been converted.

One of the obstacles in case of DaVinci is removing the setup() callback
from the pdata struct, the only user of which are some davinci boards.

Most boards use the EEPROM to store the MAC address. This series adds
support for cell lookups to the nvmem framework, registers relevant
cells for all users, converts the davinci_emac driver to using them
and replaces at24_platform_data with device properties.

The only board that's still using this callback is now mityomapl138.
Unfortunately it stores more info in EEPROM than just the MAC address
and will require some more work. Unfortunately I don't have access
to this board so I can't test any actual solutions on a live hardware.

Tested on a dm365-evm board.

v1 -> v2:
- for backward compatiblity: fall back to using of_get_mac_address() if
  we can't get an nvmem cell in patch 7
- add patch 15 which removes dead code

v2 -> v3:
- documented new nvmem cell lookup API
- renamed the nvmem cell lookup routines
- added a function for removing the lookup tables
- in order to completly remove the mac_addr from davinci's soc_info
  added a patch that moves reading the MAC address from SPI to the emac
  driver
- removed more dead code

v3 -> v4:
- only return -EPROBE_DEFER from nvmem_cell_from_lookup() if we have
  a matching lookup entry but no corresponding nvmem device yet, return
  -ENOENT if we can't match the lookup
- check for -EPROBE_DEFER in the emac driver
- put the mtd device after reading the MAC address
