It is mandatory that the NVMEM provider has a regmap associated with its
struct device. Failure to do would return error code from nvmem_register().
+Users of board files can define and register nvmem cells using the
+nvmem_cell_table struct:
+
+static struct nvmem_cell_info foo_nvmem_cells[] = {
+ {
+ .name = "macaddr",
+ .offset = 0x7f00,
+ .bytes = ETH_ALEN,
+ }
+};
+
+static struct nvmem_cell_table foo_nvmem_cell_table = {
+ .nvmem_name = "i2c-eeprom",
+ .cells = foo_nvmem_cells,
+ .ncells = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_nvmem_cells),
+};
+
+nvmem_add_cell_table(&foo_nvmem_cell_table);
+
+Additionally it is possible to create nvmem cell lookup entries and register
+them with the nvmem framework from machine code as shown in the example below:
+
+static struct nvmem_cell_lookup foo_nvmem_lookup = {
+ .nvmem_name = "i2c-eeprom",
+ .cell_name = "macaddr",
+ .dev_id = "foo_mac.0",
+ .con_id = "mac-address",
+};
+
+nvmem_add_cell_lookups(&foo_nvmem_lookup, 1);
