2016-05-01nvmem: core: remove regmap dependencySrinivas Kandagatla1-0/+10
nvmem uses regmap_raw_read/write apis to read/write data from providers, regmap raw apis stopped working with recent kernels which removed raw accessors on mmio bus. This resulted in broken nvmem for providers which are based on regmap mmio bus. This issue can be fixed temporarly by moving to other regmap apis, but we might hit same issue in future. Moving to interfaces based on read/write callbacks from providers would be more robust. This patch removes regmap dependency from nvmem and introduces read/write callbacks from the providers. Without this patch nvmem providers like qfprom based on regmap mmio bus would not work.

2016-03-01nvmem: Add backwards compatibility support for older EEPROM drivers.Andrew Lunn1-1/+3
Older drivers made an 'eeprom' file available in the /sys device directory. Have the NVMEM core provide this to retain backwards compatibility.

2016-03-01nvmem: Add flag to export NVMEM to root onlyAndrew Lunn1-0/+1
Legacy AT24, AT25 EEPROMs are exported in sys so that only root can read the contents. The EEPROMs may contain sensitive information. Add a flag so the provide can indicate that NVMEM should also restrict access to root only.

2015-08-05nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providersSrinivas Kandagatla1-0/+47
This patch adds just providers part of the framework just to enable easy review. Up until now, NVMEM drivers like eeprom were stored in drivers/misc, where they all had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file, allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices they were driving, etc. This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved, since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to another, there was a rather big abstraction leak. This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data they require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from the nvmems. Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better abstraction for nvmems on different buses.
