This driver uses MMIO access for reading NVRAM from a flash device. Underneath there is a flash controller that reads data and provides mapping window. Using MMIO interface affects controller configuration and may break real controller driver. It was reported by multiple users of devices with NVRAM stored on NAND. Modify driver to read & cache NVRAM content during init and use that copy to provide NVMEM data when requested. On NAND flashes due to their alignment NVRAM partitions can be quite big (1 MiB and more) while actual NVRAM content stays quite small (usually 16 to 32 KiB). To avoid allocating so much memory check for actual data length.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
