With the introduction of NVMEM layouts we should prefer and support
describing all NVMEM devices content in the "nvmem-layout" node. That
inludes using it for fixed NVMEM cells (those with hardcoded offset &
size).

This seems to be cleaner design and more explicit.

Introduce a binding allowing fixed NVMEM cells as a type of layout. To
avoid code duplication put shared part in the fixed-cell.yaml.

I don't feel comfortable to add an acked-by or reviewed-by here
because I don't do much with dt-bindings myself, but this looks
good to me.

Thank you!


From a device tree binding POV, could there be a

nvmem-layout@0 {
  reg = <0>;
  compatible = "layout1";
};

nvmem-layout@1000 {
  reg = <1000>;
  compatible = "layout2";
};

for partitioned eeproms for example?

Maybe. Could you send a patch adding such binding with a proper
explanation what devices need it, please? It's out of scope of this
patch.
