47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48On some embedded boards, the manufacturer stored some data on a NVMEM
49(Non-Volatile Memory), this is generally stored in some eeprom or fuses.
50.Pp
51The
52.Nm
53API consist of helpers functions for consumer and device methods for
54providers.
55.Sh FUNCTIONS
56.Bl -tag -width indent
57.It Fn nvmem_get_cell_len  "phandle_t node" "const char *name"
58Get the size of the cell base on the reg property on the node.
59Return the size or ENOENT if the cell name wasn't found
60.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
61Get the cell content based on the name.
62Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
63EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
64.It Fn nvmem_read_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
65Get the cell content based on the id.
66Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
67EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
68.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_name "phandle_t node" "const char *name" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
69Write the cell content based on the name.
70Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
71EINVAL if the size isn't correct.
72.It Fn nvmem_write_cell_by_idx "phandle_t node" "int idx" "void *cell" "size_t buflen"
73Write the cell content based on the id.
74Return 0 on sucess or ENOENT if the cell doesn't exists, ENXIO if no provider device was found,
75EINVAL if the size isn't correct.

77.Sh DEVICE METHODS
78.Bl -tag -width indent
79.It Fn nvmem_read "device_t dev" "uint32_t offset" "uint32_t size" "uint8_t *buffer"
80Provider device method to read a cell content.
81.It Fn nvmem_write "device_t dev" "uint32_t offset" "uint32_t size" "uint8_t *buffer"
82Provider device method to write a cell content.
83.El
84.Sh EXAMPLES
85Consider this DTS
86.Bd -literal
87/* Provider */
88eeprom: eeprom@20000 {
89	board_id: id@0 {
90		reg = <0x0 0x4>;

97	nvmem-cells = <&board_id>
98	nvmem-cell-names = "boardid";
99};
100.Ed
101.Pp
102The device driver for eeprom@20000 needs to expose itself as a provider

113foo_attach(device_t dev)
114{
115	phandle_t node;
116
117	node = ofw_bus_get_node(dev);
118	...
119	/* Registering the device so the consumers can find us */
120	OF_device_register_xref(OF_xref_from_node(node), dev);

134.Ed
135.Pp
136The consumer device driver for device@30000 can now read the nvmem data
137.Bd -literal

139bar_attach(device_t dev)
140{
