Hi Greg,

This series collects the nvmem changes that can be queued for 7.3.

Highlights:

- Core: split the reg_read/write() callbacks out of struct nvmem_device
into a separate ops structure and protect nvmem_device::ops with
SRCU. After nvmem_unregister() returns, the device stops accepting
consumer calls (they get -ENODEV) so we no longer reach into the
provider's memory once it has gone. Cell entries are now destroyed
in .release() so outstanding nvmem_cell handles remain valid until
the last reference drops.

- Core cleanups leading up to the SRCU conversion: return -EOPNOTSUPP
to in-kernel users when the read/write callback is missing, simplify
locking with guard(), drop __nvmem_device_put() and the duplicated
reference counting, simplify nvmem_sysfs_remove_compat(), check the
return value of gpiod_set_value_cansleep(), and remove an unused
field from struct nvmem_device.

- Move the nvmem-based EEPROM drivers (at24, at25, ee1004,
eeprom_93xx46, m24lr) from drivers/misc/eeprom/ to drivers/nvmem/
so the review path and get_maintainer.pl output match the subsystem
they actually belong to.

- brcm_nvram: reject empty NVRAM partitions and fix an out-of-bounds
access on malformed flash data where header->len sat between the
allocated data buffer size and the full partition size.

- airoha: add an ARM64 dependency.

- dt-bindings: document qcom,qfprom compatibles for ipq5210 and
ipq9650.

These patches are rebased on top of char-misc-next:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/log/?h=char-misc-next

and depend on the nvmem fixes series I sent earlier:

Thanks,
