Thankyou all for providing inputs and comments on previous versions of this patchset.
Here is the v5 of the patchset addressing all the issues raised as
part of previous versions review.
This patchset adds a new simple NVMEM framework to kernel.
Up until now, NVMEM drivers were stored in drivers/misc, where they all had to
duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file, allow in-kernel
users to access the content of the devices they were driving, etc.
This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved, since
the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to another, there
was a rather big abstraction leak.
Introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also introduces DT
representation for consumer devices to go get the data they require (MAC
Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from the NVMEMs.
After learning few things about QCOM qfprom and other eeprom/efuses, which
has packed fields at bit level. Which makes it important to add support to
such memories. This version adds support to this type of non volatile
memories by adding support to bit level nvmem-cells.
Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for nvmems on different buses.
patch 1-2 Introduces two regmap helper functions.
patch 3-6 Introduces the NVMEM framework.
Patch 7 Adds helper functions for nvmems based on mmio.
Patch 8 migrates an existing driver to nvmem framework.
Patch 9-10 Adds Qualcomm specific qfprom driver.
Patch 11 adds entry in MAINTAINERS.
Its also possible to migrate other nvmem drivers to this framework.
Providers APIs:
nvmem_register/unregister();
Consumers APIs:
Cell based apis for both DT/Non-DT:
nvmem_cell_get()/nvmem_cell_put();
nvmem_cell_read()/nvmem_cell_write();
Raw byte access apis for both DT/non-DT.
nvmem_device_get()/nvmem_device_put()
nvmem_device_read()/nvmem_device_write();
nvmem_device_cell_read()/nvmem_device_cell_write();
Device Tree:
/* Provider */
qfprom: qfprom@00700000 {
...
/* Data cells */
tsens_calibration: calib@404 {
reg = <0x404 0x10>;
};
tsens_calibration_bckp: calib_bckp@504 {
reg = <0x504 0x11>;
bit-offset = 6;
nbits = 128;
};
pvs_version: pvs-version@6 {
reg = <0x6 0x2>
bit-offset = 7;
nbits = 2;
};
speed_bin: speed-bin@c{
reg = <0xc 0x1>;
bit-offset = 2;
nbits = 3;
};
...
};
userspace interface: binary file in /sys/class/nvmem/*/nvmem
