This is also assuming the nvmem is writeable which is more often not the

Is your usecase a platform that supports pstore? Adding on to that
binding might be a better fit.


I'm using an RTC persistent memory for storing this data. The available
memory is low and don't think pstore will fit in this case.

What's this node for?

I only see 1 function.


No need to this. Will remove
