NVMEM subsystem looks for fixed NVMEM cells (specified in DT) by
default. This behaviour made sense in early days before adding support
for dynamic cells.

With every new supported NVMEM device with dynamic cells current
behaviour becomes non-optimal. It results in unneeded iterating over DT
nodes and may result in false discovery of cells (depending on used DT
properties).


This behaviour has actually caused a problem already with the MTD
subsystem. MTD subpartitions were incorrectly treated as NVMEM cells.

Also with upcoming support for NVMEM layouts no new binding or driver
should support fixed cells defined in device node.

This is not very clear, are you saying that we should not support fixed cells? If that is the case then you are proabably taking this in wrong direction. nvmem was built based on the fact that drivers can read from a fixed offsets. Dynamic cells is something very new, that does not mean that we should ditch fixed cells support in dt.


Solve this by modifying drivers for bindings that support specifying
fixed NVMEM cells in DT. Make them explicitly tell NVMEM subsystem to
read cells from DT.

Shouldn't this be opposite, let the new providers tell that cells are created at runtime?

or even better if there is a way to detect if we can set this flag dynamically based on layout/post-processing configuration.

that should be much cleaner approch.

note, I have not read all the review discussions emails, so please ignore any duplicate comments.

It wasn't clear (to me) if rtc and w1 code actually uses fixed cells. I
enabled them to don't risk any breakage.
