Hi,

Maxime, Srinivas, can you possibly shed some light on the exact scope of
this nvmem DT binding? See below for more details ...

Yeah, I saw this, and going back in the commit messages I found this:
"The H5 SoC have a SID controller that looks like the one in A64, the
cells are in the same offset but doesn't contain the same data (thermal
sensor calibration for example)."

So does the compatible string for the NVMEM *controller* really
encompass the location, encoding and meaning of all its NVMEM cells?
Isn't that described independently by the child nodes, that put names
to addresses, and that are referenced by other DT nodes?
Or was it originally not the case, and the scope changed over time?

It's certainly no biggie to use a single compatible string, and add a
single line to the driver (like in this patch), but it would be good to
know if this is really the intention.

Cheers,
Andre
