That might work if nvmem cells are defined directly under the mtdnode.
Layout should not matter! which is the purpose of this callback.
The only purpose of this callback is to tell nvmem core that the
node(nvmem cell) belongs to that provider or not, if it is then we
successfully found the provider. Its up to the provider on which layout
it describes nvmem cells. Additionally the provider can add additional
sanity checks in this match function to ensure that cell is correctly
represented.
If we go for this approach, I'd recommend replacing this ->match() hook
by ->is_nvmem_cell() and pass it the cell node instead of the nvmem
node, because what we're really after here is knowing which subnode is
an nvmem cell and which subnode is not.
I agree on passing cell node instead of its parent. Regarding basic
validating if its nvmem cell or not, we can check compatible string in
nvmem core if we decide to use "nvmem-cell" compatible.
Also just in case if you missed this, nvmem would not iterate the
Sorry !! i hit send button too quickly I guess.
What I meant to say here, is that nvmem core would not iterate the
provider node in any case.
Only time it looks at the cell node is when a consumer requests for the
cell.
