From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> MTD doesn't support nvmem yet. Some platforms use MTD to read the MAC address from SPI flash. If we want this function to generalize reading the MAC address, we need to separately try to use MTD.
How many board files are doing this? It is only worth generlizing if
there are a number of board files, all just pulling 6 bytes out from
the beginning of an MTD partition.
It is also normal to actually add a user of a new feature at the same
time as the new feature. It can be messy when it is across subsystem
boundaries, but please at least try.
