It will not work in our case. I believe what you are referring to will work if I were to pass the device node pointer which was a NVMEM consumer containing the nvmem-cells property. In our case, we pass the device node pointer pointing to /soc which is not a nvmem consumer. In this case it will not have nvmem-cells property causing of_nvmem_cell_get to return EINVAL when it calls of_parse_phandle with "nvmem-cells". Our requirement is to be able to pass the soc node pointer and then be able to get a nvmem cell by specifying it's name. So for our case ocotp node has cfg0 and cfg1 which we want but we cannot use existing nvmem consumer API since that requires having the nvmem consumer properties in the node we are binding to viz. is a direct nvmem consumer.

I could not see any bindings/ dt patches or dt examples for this this series.. so Am guessing your node would look like: soc { cfg0: cfg0 { ... }; cfg1: cfg1 { ... }; }; If this is not how it looks, can you share the details. What Am saying is that why not have: soc { nvmem-cells = <&cfg0>, <&cfg1>; nvmem-cell-names = "cfg0", "cfg1"; cfg0: cfg0 { ... }; cfg1: cfg1 { ... }; }; > > Our requirement is to be able to pass the soc node pointer and then > be able to get a nvmem cell by specifying it's name.

In the previous discussions it has been pointed out that it is not acceptable to have additional device tree bindings for providing data that the driver wants at the SoC node level or to have bindings just for the SoC bus driver alone since we aren't really describing the hardware.

That looks very fragile. If the soc node is actual consumer of nvmem cells, I see no reason why we should not use proper nvmem bindings?

That looks very fragile. In that case, that just "won't happen" because the soc driver is a very soc specific driver only used for this device tree. We it will always bind to that high level soc node. > > If the soc node is actual consumer of nvmem cells, I see no reason why > we should not use proper nvmem bindings? There is a reason: We don't describe the hardware with it... The cfg0/cfg1 register which Sanchayan needs to read in the soc bus driver are just two register with a unique ID of the SoC. In whatever driver throughout the system we use that ID (e.g. in a random generator for initialization) we never describe an actual hardware relation... Its just software and how we use that unique ID. The device tree is ment to describe hardware. Hence the NVMEM consumer binding is not suited for such NVMEM cells... By describing the NVMEM cells location in device tree (producer API, the NVMEM cells are in hardware at that location, so using the device tree for that part is fine) and hard coding the NVMEM cell we need in the driver code we don't violate the device tree matra "describe the hardware"... Looking-up the nodes direcly is what Rob suggested here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/23/573 > > Given the fact that the patch is potentially bypassing the nvmem > bindings, am not happy to take it! If you can provide a solution acceptable by the device tree folks and works without this patch, I am happy to do it... Btw, I am not entirely happy with the API name, but did not had a better idea...

In whatever "Unique ID of the SOC" doesn't this mean that its a part of soc hw description/configuration/setup? Am still not clear why this setup any different to other use cases like mac address/calibration data? I still feel that this should be described in the DT.

IMHO, We should indeed describe the SOC hardware and its relationship w.r.t to nvmem provider in device tree.
