Subject: [PATCH v2 00/20] nvmem: core: introduce NVMEM layouts
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 00:18:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220901221857.2600340-1-michael@walle.cc> (raw)
This is now the third attempt to fetch the MAC addresses from the VPD
for the Kontron sl28 boards. Previous discussions can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211228142549.1275412-1-michael@walle.cc/
NVMEM cells are typically added by board code or by the devicetree. But
as the cells get more complex, there is (valid) push back from the
devicetree maintainers to not put that handling in the devicetree.
Therefore, introduce NVMEM layouts. They operate on the NVMEM device and
can add cells during runtime. That way it is possible to add more complex
cells than it is possible right now with the offset/length/bits
description in the device tree. For example, you can have post processing
for individual cells (think of endian swapping, or ethernet offset
handling).
The imx-ocotp driver is the only user of the global post processing hook,
convert it to nvmem layouts and drop the global post pocessing hook. Please
note, that this change is only compile-time tested.
You can also have cells which have no static offset, like the
ones in an u-boot environment. The last patches will convert the current
u-boot environment driver to a NVMEM layout and lifting the restriction
that it only works with mtd devices. But as it will change the required
compatible strings, it is marked as RFC for now. It also needs to have
its device tree schema update which is left out here. These two patches
are not expected to be applied, but rather to show another example of
how to use the layouts.
For now, the layouts are selected by a specific compatible string in a
device tree. E.g. the VPD on the kontron sl28 do (within a SPI flash node):
compatible = "kontron,sl28-vpd", "user-otp";
or if you'd use the u-boot environment (within an MTD patition):
compatible = "u-boot,env", "nvmem";
The "user-otp" (or "nvmem") will lead to a NVMEM device, the
"kontron,sl28-vpd" (or "u-boot,env") will then apply the specific layout
on top of the NVMEM device.
NVMEM layouts as modules?
While possible in principle, it doesn't make any sense because the NVMEM
core can't be compiled as a module. The layouts needs to be available at
probe time. (That is also the reason why they get registered with
subsys_initcall().) So if the NVMEM core would be a module, the layouts
could be modules, too.
