I suppose we could try: Fixes: 3fef9ed0627a ("nvmem: brcm_nvram: new driver exposing Broadcom's NVRAM") Srini: can you append it while applying if you find it OK?

Why do we even need to expose MMIO interface to NAND though? Why not always go through the controller driver. I don't see how the MMIO access would be used given bad blocks aren't handled? > -- > Florian >

Good idea. Actual NVRAM data usually doesn't take much space, but it reserves quite a lot and we need all of that to full expose NVMEM device content.

Some vendors store there information about used firmware in case of having main one and fallback one. That info is required for partitioning which happens during mtd initialization before we have NAND driver fully initialized.

OK, it would have been nice for the bootloader to sort out and retrieve any information. But if you need to access flash in the kernel before the nand driver is loaded so be it.
