A lot of home routers have NVMEM fixed cells containing MAC address that
need some further processing. In ~99% cases MAC needs to be:
1. Optionally parsed from ASCII format
2. Increased by a vendor-picked value
There was already an attempt to design a binding for that at NVMEM
device level in the past. It wasn't accepted though as it didn't really
fit NVMEM device layer.
The introduction of NVMEM fixed-cells layout seems to be an opportunity
to provide a relevant binding in a clean way.
This commit adds a *generic* compatible string: "mac-base". As always it
needs to be carefully reviewed.
OpenWrt project currently supports ~300 home routers that have NVMEM
cell with binary-stored base MAC.T hose devices are manufactured by
multiple vendors. There are TP-Link devices (76 of them), Netgear (19),
D-Link (11), OpenMesh (9), EnGenius (8), GL.iNet (8), ZTE (7),
Xiaomi (5), Ubiquiti (6) and more. Those devices don't share an
architecture or SoC.
Another 200 devices have base MAC stored in an ASCII format (not all
those devices have been converted to DT though).
It would be impractical to provide unique "compatible" strings for NVMEM
layouts of all those devices. It seems like a valid case for allowing a
generic binding instead. Even if this binding will not be sufficient for
some further devices it seems to be useful enough as it is.
