[PATCH v2 8/8] arm64: dts: qcom: arduino-imola: Describe NVMEM layout for WiFi/BT addresses

From: Loic Poulain

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 11:28:49 EST


On Arduino Uno-Q, the eMMC boot1 partition is factory provisioned
with device-specific information such as the WiFi MAC address
and the Bluetooth BD address. This partition can serve as an
alternative to additional non-volatile memory, such as a
dedicated EEPROM.

The eMMC boot partitions are typically good candidates, as they
are relatively small, read-only by default (and can be enforced
as hardware read-only), and are not affected by board reflashing
procedures, which generally target the eMMC user or GP partitions.

Describe the corresponding nvmem-layout for the WiFi and Bluetooth
addresses, and point the WiFi and Bluetooth nodes to the appropriate
NVMEM cells to retrieve them.
