ABI: sysfs-nvmem-cells: Expose cells through sysfs
The binary content of nvmem devices is available to the user so in the easiest cases, finding the content of a cell is rather easy as it is just a matter of looking at a known and fixed offset. However, nvmem layouts have been recently introduced to cope with more advanced situations, where the offset and size of the cells is not known in advance or is dynamic. When using layouts, more advanced parsers are used by the kernel in order to give direct access to the content of each cell regardless of their position/size in the underlying device, but these information were not accessible to the user. By exposing the nvmem cells to the user through a dedicated cell/ folder containing one file per cell, we provide a straightforward access to useful user information without the need for re-writing a userland parser. Content of nvmem cells is usually: product names, manufacturing date, MAC addresses, etc, Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
