The nRF51 contains three regions of non-volatile memory (NVM):
- CODE (R/W): contains code
- FICR (R): Factory information like code size, chip id etc.
- UICR (R/W): Changeable configuration data. Lock bits, Code
  protection configuration, Bootloader address, Nordic SoftRadio
  configuration, Firmware configuration.

Read and write access to the memories is managed by the
Non-volatile memory controller.

Memory schema:
 [ CPU ] -+- [ NVM, either FICR, UICR or CODE ]

There is asymmetry here: uicr_read() doesn't check offset before
indexing the array but uicr_write() does.  Either the check is
necessary or it's not.

I think this check isn't necessary since the memory region is sized
appropriately:

  memory_region_init_io(&s->uicr, NULL, &uicr_ops, s, "nrf51_soc.uicr",
          sizeof(s->uicr_content));

Can this be done in ->realize()?  Nothing changes the contents of
empty_page, so a ->reset() function seems unnecessary.

This is confusing because these lines look like code because they
don't have the leading " * ". Please keep multiline comments to
the standard format that CODING_STYLE (now) suggests.

We can't get here with a bogus offset because of the use of sizeof()
when registering the memory region. I think that an assert() that
offset is in range before doing the array dereference would be
helpful though, as a defensive guard against the MR size being
changed in future: it turns the consequences of that bug from
"read out of bounds" to "assertion failure". Similarly with uicr.

Would this ever be anything other than "all 0xff" ? If not, might
be more obvious just to use memset() to init/reset the data.

Missing "break;" here (and at the end of the switches in the
other functions in this file). The compiler won't complain
(and the behaviour is correct) but Coverity likely will
produce a warning later.

memory_region_set_readonly() is only intended for use with
RAM regions, which this is not. Usually if you want an IO
region that has "ignores writes" behaviour you just give it
a write function that does nothing.

The guest can change uicr_content[], so this memcpy() is a part
of reset and should be in the reset function, so that it gets
set back to its correct value on a reset.

This device can't be hot-unplugged, so an unrealize function
is unreachable and not required.

Do the different NRF51 variants really have different NAND page sizes ?

it seems that is not the case at least for the NRF51 Series. I removed the property in favor for a nrf51.h-wide constant. I think this is NOR flash btw, because it is single-byte writable, which is usually a sign that it is NOR flash. But i could be wrong and the datasheet does not state anything.
Thank you for your remarks!
