Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for the patch, Something like this only i have tested in the
morning, instead of unused, i have put dev group inside config as well.
We will test the exact patch and update the same.
Regards
Gaurav

Is root only option not helping you in this case?
Yes we want to protect at root level as well, i mean it is better if
we can avoid exposing to userspace at all.
Can you try below patch!
We could go down the route of adding new config option something
like CONFIG_NVMEM_NO_SYSFS_ENTRY to prevent adding nvmem entry in
userspace.
Let me know if you are happy to create a patch for this change?
I am happy with either way config option or dt binding(seems easy),
please let me know we will post new patch for the same.
DT way is totally NAK.

Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: add support to NVMEM_NO_SYSFS_ENTRY
Some users might not want to expose nvmem entry to sysfs and
only intend to use kernel interface so add such provision.
