my question comes from porting mxs_ocotp to NVMEM framework.
Here is the devicetree part:
ocotp: ocotp@8002c000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx28-ocotp", "fsl,ocotp";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
reg = <0x8002c000 0x2000>;
clocks = <&clks 25>;
read-only;
/* Data cells */
ocotp_customer: costumer@20 {
reg = <0x20 0x10>;
};
ocotp_rom0: rom0@1a0 {
reg = <0x1a0 0x4>;
};
};
After calling nvmem_register() in the provider driver [1] no data cell is
registered. So
i looked at the core code and i thought that retrieving the cell info and put it
into the nvmem_config
is job of the provider driver.
Did i missed something?

Sure, but wouldn't it be nice if different provider behave the same?
