Wireless Broadcom chips can have either their SPROM data stored
on either external SPROM or on-chip OTP memory. Both are accessed
through the same register space. This patch adds support for the
on-chip OTP memory.

Tested with:
BCM43224 OTP and SPROM
BCM4331 SPROM
BCM4313 OTP

Does bcma now support the same features regarding sprom and otp as
brcmsamc expect it does not read out all the attributes brcmsmac reads
out or are there any features still missing? I am just asking because
the code used in brcmsmac is ~4 times longer.

I started on using bcma sprom content in brcmsmac and indeed there are some entries missing. The change in this patch only provides read-access to the srom data. As the chip comes up for read-access there is not much programming need to accomplish that. The only feature that is not there is that on some chips OTP can be powered down for power-saving. The current chips supported by BCMA don't have that.

This patch is in response so gmane article [1].

Determining the offset for OTP sprom data turned out to be
easier as it boils down to reading a register. This change
collides with patch posted by Hauke:

I will test you patch on my device soon and will report if something is
wrong. If you are sending a non RFC patch in the next days I would
rebase my patch onto yours. The code searching in the SoCs flash chip
will be added to run if bcma_sprom_onchip_available() returns false.

Appreciate any testing on SoCs. I think I will need some time to modify brcmsmac so let your patch go first.

bcma: add support for sprom not found on the device.

Now working on changes in brcmsmac to start using the sprom
data stored in struct bcma_bus. Feel free to comment this patch.

What is the correct way to format this file? BCMA_CC_JCMD_BUSY uses two
spaces after the define and BCMA_CC_OTPS_CID_PROTECT uses a tabulator
and a space, what is the correct or intended way to format this? This
does not have directly something to do with this patches as both ways
are currently coded in this file.

I assumed the convention was to use two spaces and I corrected BCMA_CC_CHIPST_4331_OTP_PRESENT accordingly after reading back my RFC patch.
