nvmem: core: add an index parameter to the cell
Sometimes a cell can represend multiple values. For example, a base ethernet address stored in the NVMEM can be expanded into multiple discreet ones by adding an offset. For this use case, introduce an index parameter which is then used to distiguish between values. This parameter will then be passed to the post process hook which can then use it to create different values during reading. At the moment, there is only support for the device tree path. You can add the index to the phandle, e.g. &net { nvmem-cells = <&base_mac_address 2>; nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address"; }; &nvmem_provider { base_mac_address: base-mac-address@0 { #nvmem-cell-cells = <1>; reg = <0 6>; }; }; Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230206134356.839737-13-srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
