[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: nvmem: layouts: Add PSCRR NVMEM layout
From: Faruque Ansari
Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 00:39:37 EST
Add a schema for the PSCRR NVMEM layout, which persists the power
state change reason in a single NVMEM cell so it survives a power
cycle and can be read back on the next boot.

+description:
+ An NVMEM layout for a Power State Change Reason (PSCRR) recorder. The
+ reboot or shutdown cause is persisted into a single small NVMEM cell,
+ such as an RTC scratch register, a PMIC SDAM (Scratch Data Access Memory)
+ byte, or an EEPROM byte, so the reason survives a power cycle and can be
+ read back on the next boot.
