[PATCH v4 08/16] nvmem: microchip-otpc: nvmem: microchip-otpc: add tag-based packet lookup

From: Varshini Rajendran <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-27 12:28:44
Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-iio, lkml
Subsystem: microchip otpc driver, nvmem framework, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Claudiu Beznea, Srinivas Kandagatla, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Add support for accessing OTP packets by their tag which is a FourCC
while preserving backward compatibility with the existing ID-based
lookup.

The OTP memory layout can vary across devices and may change over time,
making the packet ID approach unreliable when the memory map is not
known in advance. The packet tag provides a reliable way to identify
and access packets without prior knowledge of the OTP memory layout.

Two offset encodings are now supported:
  1. Legacy ID-based: offset = OTP_PKT(id) = id * 4
     Used in DT as: reg = <OTP_PKT(1) 76>;
  2. TAG-based: offset = 4-byte ASCII packet tag (FourCC)
     Used in DT as: reg = <0x41435354 0x4c>; (tag "ACST")

The driver resolves offsets matching valid legacy selectors (multiples
of 4 within the packet count) through ID lookup, falling back to tag
lookup for other valid values. This ensures existing device trees
continue to work while enabling new tag-based access. During probe,
packet meta data including the tag is read and cached.

The stride of the nvmem memory is set to 1 in order to support tag based
offsets, comment in the header file is updated accordingly.
