You can have a look at 
https://git.linaro.org/people/srinivas.kandagatla/linux.git/blob/b4c3ad253747767511233687436f20144e850d67:/drivers/nvmem/rockchip-efuse.c

I did modify the rockchip driver, which I guess should be very much 
similar to what OCOTP driver would need.

We already have that in place.

There are no limitaions as such from nvmem framework, regmap might have 
limitations w.r.t to sleeping and fast_io, as fast_io would take 
spinlocks, AFAIK the providers would not have fast_io, as they not IO 
devices.

Yes, if you pass read-only flag in the provider, the framework would not 
attempt to even write.

You will find answers to most of your question in the rochip-efuse.c file.
