Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 08:59:09 -0800 From: Andrey Smirnov <andrew.smirnov@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: srinivas.kandagatla@...aro.org, maxime.ripard@...e-electrons.com, Andrey Smirnov <andrew.smirnov@...il.com> Subject: [RESEND RFC 0/3] Proposed extensions for NVMEM Hello, This RFC introduces two new drivers to NVMEM subsytem. First driver, 'nvmem-blob', serves the purpose of exposing data, embedded in DTB, via NVMEM consumer API. Second, 'nvmem-composite', allows the user to combin a number of NVMEM cells (or parts of them) into a single continuos "blob" of data presented to the rest of the system as a regular NVMEM device. The intent of this RFC is to solicit feedback about the approach, binding or if these features should be accepted upstream in general. I originally proposed this extentions as a part of Barebox project (Barebox borrows a lot of concepts from Linux kernel and adopting NVMEM subsystem was being discussed), in order to facilitate usage of NVMEM to initialize source of MAC address for a paticular Ethernet adapter (Barebox would read that value and fixup DT blob with appropriate value as a part of booting Linux). However the drivers should be generic enough to not be tied to that case. Please bear in mind the the code included is a very rough draft and a lot of error checking/handling code in is was stubbed out. Any feedback is welcome.
