However, nvmem layouts have been recently introduced to cope with more advanced situations, where the offset and size of the cells is not known in advance or is dynamic. When using layouts, more advanced parsers are used by the kernel in order to give direct access to the content of each cell regardless of their position/size in the underlying device, but these information were not accessible to the user. By exposing the nvmem cells to the user through a dedicated cell/ folder containing one file per cell, we provide a straightforward access to useful user information without the need for re-writing a userland parser. Content of nvmem cells is usually: product names, manufacturing date, MAC addresses, etc, Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-nvmem-cells | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-nvmem-cells diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-nvmem-cells b/Documentation/AB= I/testing/sysfs-nvmem-cells new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..a1d140dcbd5d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-nvmem-cells @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +What: /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/.../cells/ +Date: May 2023 +KernelVersion: 6.5 +Contact: Miquel Raynal +Description: + The "cells" folder contains one file per cell exposed by the + NVMEM device.
