I'm still unhappy with the naming, especially since you explained in
more details the whole plan which involves using a container to put
these fixed cells from now on. In both cases you extract cells from
fixed OF nodes but this boolean needs to be set to true in one
case, and false in the other, which would not make sense.

Also, regarding the bindings changes, I'm fairly happy with the idea,
but if we go this way I would prefer a full series instead of
individual changes with:

- the boolean you introduce here (renamed, at the very least)
- the new bindings

I assume you mean fixed-layout.yaml?


- the update of the current provider bindings to take the new bindings
   into account and deprecate the old ones officially

What has to be updated in current proceds? It seems to me that:
1. Current NVMEM providers reference nvmem.yaml
2. nvmem.yaml references nvmem-layout.yaml
3. nvmem-layout.yaml references fixed-layout.yaml

what else is missing?


- support for the new bindings in the core

Please, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to spend more hours on
actual coding without approval of chosen path.

I'll need to have
[PATCH V2] dt-bindings: nvmem: layouts: add fixed-layout
reviewed/acked first. If you can do that that's great.
