[PATCH V4 RFC 0/3] nvmem: add ocotp support for i.MX23 and i.MX28

[PATCH V4 RFC 0/3] nvmem: add ocotp support for i.MX23 and i.MX28

[Stefan Wahren]

This patch series brings read-only support for the On-Chip OTP cells
in the i.MX23 and i.MX28 processor.

It has been a long time since V3 of this series [1]. The last version has been
rejected because there was no standard interface to the OTP data. So this
version bases on V7 of the new NVMEM framework [2] which required a nearly
complete rewrite of the driver.

[1] - http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-October/295228.html
[2] - http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/355652.html

changes in V4:
- rename fsl_ocotp.c to mxs-ocotp.c
- adapt driver to use NVMEM framework V7
- take care of hbus clock
- increase too small timeout
- implement a wait function
- use defines from stmp_device.h
- remove owner init
- more code cleanup

changes in V3:
- drop write support
- take care of i.MX23 which has less registers
- drop unnecessary header file
- move static variables into driver data
- add devicetree probing
- fix missing bank closing in error case
- use kobj from platform device for sysfs
- add SYSFS to Kconfig
- add binding file
- code cleanup

[PATCH V4 RFC 2/3] nvmem: add driver for ocotp in i.MX23 and i.MX28

[Stefan Wahren]

This patch brings read-only support for the On-Chip OTP cells
in the i.MX23 and i.MX28 processor. The driver implements the
new NVMEM provider API.

How come this driver isn't doing any manipulation with the VDDIO
voltage -- or did I miss that? I seem to remember that the VDDIO
had to be lowered to 2.8V before the fuses could be programmed
and restored to 3.3V afterward. See for example recent mainline
u-boot, drivers/misc/mxs_ocotp.c .

Best regards,
Marek Vasut

Why should the driver implement VDDIO manipulation when there is only
read-only support for the OTP bits? There is no ambition to implement
write support. Maybe i should clarify that in the comments.

Btw i'm on your side that because programming the OTP from userspace is
to dangerous.

Stefan

Urm, sorry, I missed that read-only part. I apologize.

Are you sure you even want this support in kernel ? Isn't it enough to have
this in some manufacturing-time mutated bootloader to program the OTP once
and never touch it again ?
