If there'll be an agreement on the bindings: will you be willing to
merge Alban's patch even without support in the code for the above
(with the assumption that it will be added later)? My use-case is on
non-DT systems and creating nvmem devices corresponding to MTD
partitions if fine by me. I also don't have the means to test the
support for these bindings if I were to actually write them myself.
