50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51On some embedded boards, the manufacturer stored some data on a NVMEM
52(Non-Volatile Memory), this is generally stored in some eeprom or fuses.
53.Pp
54The
55.Nm
56API consist of helpers functions for consumer and device methods for
57providers.
58.Sh FUNCTIONS
59.Bl -tag -width indent
60.It Fn nvmem_get_cell_len  "phandle_t node" "const char *name"
61Get the size of the cell base on the reg property on the node.
62Return the size or ENOENT if the cell name wasn't found
63.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
64Get the cell content based on the name.
65Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
66EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
67.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
68Get the cell content based on the id.
69Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
70EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
71.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
72Write the cell content based on the name.
73Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
74EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
75.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
76Write the cell content based on the id.
77Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
78EINVAL if the size isn't correct.

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

95};
96/* Consumer */
97device@30000 {
98	...
99
100	nvmem-cells = <&board_id>
101	nvmem-cell-names = "boardid";
102};
103.Ed
104.Pp
105The device driver for eeprom@20000 needs to expose itself as a provider

109int
110foo_nvmem_read(device_t dev, uint32_t offset, uint32_t size, uint8_t *buffer)

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

135	DEVMETHOD_END
136};
137.Ed
138.Pp
139The consumer device driver for device@30000 can now read the nvmem data
140.Bd -literal
141int
142bar_attach(device_t dev)
143{
