+NVMEM subsystem
+===============
+
+The NVMEM framework was partially ported from linux kernel.
+
+Except from linux kernel documentation:
+*NVMEM* is the abbreviation for Non Volatile Memory layer. It is used to
+retrieve configuration of SOC or Device specific data from non volatile
+memories like eeprom, efuses and so on.
+
+Userspace binary interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Userspace can read/write the raw NVMEM file located at
+/dev/nvmem*
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  md -s /dev/nvmem0 0+4
+  00000000: 00000000                                           ....
+
+  mw -d /dev/nvmem0 0 0x12345678
+
+  md -s /dev/nvmem0 0+4
+  00000000: 12345678                                           xV4.
