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. Signed-off-by: Samuel Holland <samuel@sholland.org>
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? Maxime
