The following series allows the generic NVRAM driver to access MMIO based NVRAMs. In addition it enables support for NVRAMs of sizes differing from those found on PowerPC Macs (providing a safe fallback). Patches are also included to enable support for the NVRAM found on the GE Fanuc PPC9A, SBC310 and SBC610. If this patch series is unsuitable this late in the day for 2.6.31, please concider it for 2.6.32.
No major issue with the series other than the change to the generic nvram code which needs to not break other architectures :-) Also, it will probably need to go through Andrew Morton, unless there's a maintainer for that driver, is there ? Once you sort out that aspect of the patch series, I'm happy to take the rest in powerpc.git Cheers, Ben.
