Soon to be released versions of RPi4's firmware will take of care passing their bootloader's configuration[1] to the OS by copying it into memory and creating a reserved memory node in the board's DT. By modeling this reserved memory node as an nvmem device using 'nvmem-rmem', which this series introduces, user-space applications will be able to query this information through nvmem's sysfs interface. An alternative approach, less nice IMO, would be to create a platform-specific 'soc' driver. Regards, Nicolas [1] https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bcm2711_bootloader_config.md --- Changes since v2: - Fix DT bingins Changes since v1: - Avoid the reserved-memory indirection by integrating the nvmem driver into the reserved memory node.
