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.

Unless there are going to be users of nvmem-provider.h
outside of the drivers/nvmem directory, perhaps that
file (and nvmem-consumer.h) should be in drivers/nvmem/

nvmem-consumer.h should be accessible from any driver, no?

And unfortunately nvmem-provider should be accessible too.
There are already eeprom drivers in the eeprom/misc directory that
cannot be moved yet to drivers/nvmem (like at24).

They need the provider definitions while they provide both the old
style interface, and the new NVMEM based one.

When we move them to the drivers/nvmem directory, then yes the
provider header file should move there.

Hi Srinivas,

sorry for the messed up indention.

In order to avoid confusion it would be good to write here what does NVMEM mean.

I think this would be a better place for the debug message from above.
Additionally we could add the cell count and so on.

Yep, that's the plan.
