Hi Ulf,

thank you for reviewing and suggesting ways to improve this series!

I've prepared a tree on Github which now also includes commits adding
dt-bindings for block devices and partitions, so they can be referenced
as nvmem-cells provider.

The dt-schema addition supposedly explaining this specific patch:

https://github.com/dangowrt/linux/commit/b399a758f0e1c444ae9443dc80902a30de54af09

The whole tree:

https://github.com/dangowrt/linux/commits/for-nvmem-next

Most comments have been addressed, however, I still depend on using
either a class_interface *or* adding calls to add/remove the NVMEM
representation of a block device to block/genhd.c as well as
block/partitions/core.c, simply because afaik there isn't any better
way for in-kernel users of block devices to be notified about the
creation or removal of a block device.

Cheers


Daniel
