[Resend because of new development cycle. Shawn, can this series get
through your tree? Sorry you weren't on CC on the former submissions.]

This series converts the guts driver from a platform driver to just an
core_initcall. The driver itself cannot (or rather should never) be
unloaded because others depends on detecting the current SoC revision
to apply chip errata. Other SoC drivers do it the same way. Overall I
got rid of all the global static variables.

The last patch finally adds unique id support to the guts driver. DT
binding can be found at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/nvmem/fsl,layerscape-sfp.yaml

changes since v1:
- call kfree() in error case, thanks Dan
- add missing of_node_put(np), thanks Dan

There goes another kernel release without any comments on this
series :(

Shawn, can you pick this up and give it some time in linux-next?
