Can you assign the attributes to the device_type in the nvmem::struct
device? I don't see why these attributes need to be part of the class.

I will fix this.

I thought class was on the way out? Aren't we supposed to use bus types
for new stuff?

Do you remember any conversation on the list about this? I could not
find it on web.

on the other hand, nvmem is not really a bus, making it a bus type
sounds incorrect to me.

I found this post on the cpu class that Sudeep tried to introduce[1].
And there's this post from Kay that alludes to a unification of busses
and classes[2]. And some other post where Kay says class is dead [3].

Thanks for the links,
Yep, looks like Class is dead, I will change the code to use bus type 
instead.
