Oh great, I'm making circles now.

Rob suggested I should convert existing drivers, see:
[PATCH 2/2] nvmem: add generic driver for devices with I/O based access
and I thought efuse ones should be good.

Please tell me how I should handle brcm,nvram without wasting more time.
I thought I had it sorted out but I just wasted 2 days.


I believe I need to make brcm,nvram NVMEM layout. Without converting it
I'm afraid you'll refuse my changes adding cell post processing (that
happened to my U-Boot attempts).

Before I convert brcm,nvram to NVMEM layout I need some binding & driver
providing MMIO device access. How to handle that?
