The sun6i RTC provides 32 bytes of general-purpose data registers.
They can be used to save data in the always-on RTC power domain.
The registers are writable via 32-bit MMIO accesses only.

Expose the region as a NVMEM provider so it can be used by userspace and
other drivers.

As far as I understood, you want to use those registers to implement
super-standby? If so, while it makes sense for the kernel to be able to
be able to write to those registers, I guess it would be a bit unwise to
allow the userspace to access it?
