I think the MTD partition -> nvmem connection could benefit to non-OTP
partitions too.
So, how about defining the nvmem regions under the partition nodes,
like that:
flash@0 {
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
partition@0 {
label = "uboot-spl";
reg = <0x0 0xe0000>;
};
/* ... */
partition@X{
label = "factory-data-part";
reg = <0x200000 0x100000>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
product: nvmem@0 {
reg = <0x0 0x2>;
};
revision: nvmem@3 {
reg = <0x3 0x2>;
};
};
};
otp-partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
partition@X{
label = "factory-data-part";
reg = <0x0 0x40>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
product: nvmem@0 {
reg = <0x0 0x2>;
};
revision: nvmem@3 {
reg = <0x3 0x2>;
};
};
};
};
I know this requires changing the implementation to select the
appropriate nvmem wrapper to use depending on whether we're interfacing
with an OTP area or a regular one, but that should be doable.

Boris
