Re: [PATCH v2] nvmem: core: Set no-read-write provider to avoid userspace read/write

[Gaurav Kohli <gkohli@codeaurora.org>]

Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for the patch, Something like this only i have tested in the 
morning, instead of unused, i have put dev group inside config as well.

We will test the exact patch and update the same.

Regards

Gaurav
