49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50On some embedded boards, the manufacturer stored some data on a NVMEM
51(Non-Volatile Memory), this is generally stored in some eeprom or fuses.
52.Pp
53The
54.Nm
55API consist of helpers functions for consumer and device methods for
56providers.
57.Sh FUNCTIONS
58.Bl -tag -width indent
59.It Fn nvmem_get_cell_len  "phandle_t node" "const char *name"
60Get the size of the cell base on the reg property on the node.
61Return the size or ENOENT if the cell name wasn't found
62.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
63Get the cell content based on the name.
64Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
65EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
66.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
67Get the cell content based on the id.
68Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
69EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
70.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
71Write the cell content based on the name.
72Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
73EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
74.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
75Write the cell content based on the id.
76Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
77EINVAL if the size isn't correct.

79.Sh DEVICE METHODS
80.Bl -tag -width indent
81.It Fn nvmem_read "device_t dev" "uint32_t offset" "uint32_t size" "uint8_t *buffer"
82Provider device method to read a cell content.
83.It Fn nvmem_write "device_t dev" "uint32_t offset" "uint32_t size" "uint8_t *buffer"
84Provider device method to write a cell content.
85.El
86.Sh EXAMPLES
87Consider this DTS
88.Bd -literal
89/* Provider */
90eeprom: eeprom@20000 {
91	board_id: id@0 {
92		reg = <0x0 0x4>;

98
99	nvmem-cells = <&board_id>
100	nvmem-cell-names = "boardid";
101};
102.Ed
103.Pp
104The device driver for eeprom@20000 needs to expose itself as a provider

115foo_attach(device_t dev)
116{
117	phandle_t node;
118
119	node = ofw_bus_get_node(dev);
120	...
121	/* Registering the device so the consumers can find us */
122	OF_device_register_xref(OF_xref_from_node(node), dev);

134	DEVMETHOD_END
135};
136.Ed
137.Pp
138The consumer device driver for device@30000 can now read the nvmem data
139.Bd -literal

141bar_attach(device_t dev)
142{
