[PATCHv2] ARM: dts: BCM5301X: AC56U: add nvram node
Posted by Rosen Penev 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Add it and set for gmac0, which is the only GMAC used on this board.

nvram size found from a random bootlog online.

Why is not the nvram node moved to bcm5301x.dtsi given it is common to 
all of the chips?

To avoid probe errors on hardware where sizes are unknown.

I looked at this again. It makes no sense to centralize:

+       nvram@1c080000 {
+               compatible = "brcm,nvram";
+               reg = <0x1c080000 0x180000>;

The reg and @ values are correct here but not for all devices. There's
also nvram@1e3f0000 and nvram@1e1f0000 as examples.
