[PATCH v9 4/9] nvmem: Add bindings for simple nvmem framework

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

This patch adds bindings for simple nvmem framework which allows nvmem
consumers to talk to nvmem providers to get access to nvmem cell data.

+= NVMEM(Non Volatile Memory) Data Device Tree Bindings =
+
+This binding is intended to represent the location of hardware
+configuration data stored in NVMEMs like eeprom, efuses and so on.
+
+On a significant proportion of boards, the manufacturer has stored
+some data on NVMEM, for the OS to be able to retrieve these information
+and act upon it. Obviously, the OS has to know about where to retrieve
+these data from, and where they are stored on the storage device.
+
+This document is here to document this.
+
+= Data providers =
+Contains bindings specific to provider drivers and data cells as children
+of this node.
+
+Optional properties:
+ read-only: Mark the provider as read only.
+
+= Data cells =
+These are the child nodes of the provider which contain data cell
+information like offset and size in nvmem provider.
+
+Required properties:
+reg:	specifies the offset in byte within the storage device.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+bits:	Is pair of bit location and number of bits, which specifies offset
+	in bit and number of bits within the address range specified by reg property.
+	Offset takes values from 0-7.
+
+For example:
+
+	/* Provider */
+	qfprom: qfprom at 00700000 {
+		...
+
+		/* Data cells */
+		tsens_calibration: calib at 404 {
+			reg = <0x404 0x10>;
+		};
+
+		tsens_calibration_bckp: calib_bckp at 504 {
+			reg = <0x504 0x11>;
+			bits = <6 128>
+		};
+
+		pvs_version: pvs-version at 6 {
+			reg = <0x6 0x2>
+			bits = <7 2>
+		};
+
+		speed_bin: speed-bin at c{
+			reg = <0xc 0x1>;
+			bits = <2 3>;
+
+		};
+		...
+	};
+
+= Data consumers =
+Are device nodes which consume nvmem data cells/providers.
+
+Required-properties:
+nvmem-cells: list of phandle to the nvmem data cells.
+nvmem-cell-names: names for the each nvmem-cells specified. Required if
+	nvmem-cells is used.
+
+Optional-properties:
+nvmem	: list of phandles to nvmem providers.
+nvmem-names: names for the each nvmem provider. required if nvmem is used.
+
+For example:
+
+	tsens {
+		...
+		nvmem-cells = <&tsens_calibration>;
+		nvmem-cell-names = "calibration";
+	};
