We're getting close to rc5 so I'd like to make a case for this series again. I understand that there's more to do than just the changes introduced here, but we shouldn't try to fix several problems in many different places at once. There's just too many moving pieces. I'd rather start merging small improvements right away. The idea behind this series is to remove (almost) all users of at24_platform_data. The davinci_emac patches are there only because we need to remove some MAC adress reading stuff from the board files. Having this code there and calling it back from EEPROM/MTD drivers is already wrong and we should work towards using nvmem for that anyway. Currently for MTD the nvmem support series seems to be dead and it's going to take some time before anything gets upstream. So I'd like to again ask you to consider picking up the patches from this series to your respective trees or at the very least: I'd like to ask Srinivas to pick up the nvmem patches and Sekhar to take the first, non-controversial batch of davinci platform changes so that we'll have less code to carry for the next release.
I think those are patches 3-7. I can take those if I get an immutable commit over v4.18-rc1 from Srinivas with patches 1 & 2 applied. Thanks, Sekhar
