[PATCH V3 0/2] nvmem: add and use generic MMIO NVMEM

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

MMIO accessible NVMEM devices should be simple enough to allow using a
single binding & driver for them.

In V3 I didn't decide to modify existing Mediatek & UniPhier drivers as
there are some concerns about adding writing support to them. If needed
that can be done later.

I decided to support Broadcom's NVRAM with generic driver though. That
is my main goal right now. To let generic code handle NVRAM access and
let NVRAM specific driver handle its content. That way it can be reused
for other NVMEM devices later (once we get layouts support).

[PATCH V3 1/2] dt-bindings: nvmem: mmio: new binding for MMIO accessible NVMEM devices

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Content of some NVMEM devices can be read using MMIO. Some of them
(probably very few though) may be also programmable that way. Add
generic binding to allow describing such hardware.

This *doesn't* apply to any more complicated devices that need more
complex interface e.g. for writing. While such devices could be
supported for reading purposes by the same driver - they should get
their own binding.

This binding will gain even more usability once we fully support NVMEM
layouts (describing content of NVMEM devices in an independent way).

[PATCH V3 2/2] nvmem: add generic driver for devices with MMIO access

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Some NVMEM devices can be accessed by simply mapping memory and reading
from / writing to it. This driver adds support for a generic
"mmio-nvmem" DT binding used by such devices.

One of such devices is Broadcom's NVRAM. It's already supported (see
NVMEM_BRCM_NVRAM) but existing driver covers both:
1. NVMEM device access
2. NVMEM content parsing

Once we get support for NVMEM layouts then existing NVRAM driver will
get converted into a layout and generic driver will take over
responsibility for data access. That's why it claims "brcm,nvram"
(conditionally for now).

I'm just curious: (since read supports those cases)

what size writes are typically used here?
And what value for priv->io_width?

Sorry, I really don't have any statistics on this or any real overview
of hardware that supports MMIO writes. It's probably a minority of
devices that allows it.

If there is a code path in core that would allow this to happen then it

If io_width is 0 core considers defaults it to 1. But in this patch its 
possible to still have priv->io_width 0. This is the behavior that you want?

so, are we saying that we only support writes to 8 bytes io_width? Any

core should have already marked it readonly based on this property.

If CONFIG_NVMEM_BRCM_NVRAM is not enabled we want to add "brcm,nvram" 
to this driver compatibles, that is something confusing to be honest 
atleast at this transition stage.


How about making nvmem-mmio export functions for drivers like brcm to 
call directly.
