Sometimes a cell can represend multiple values. For example, a base
ethernet address stored in the NVMEM can be expanded into multiple
discreet ones by adding an offset.
For this use case, introduce an index parameter which is then used to
distiguish between values. This parameter will then be passed to the
post process hook which can then use it to create different values
during reading.
At the moment, there is only support for the device tree path. You can
add the index to the phandle, e.g.
&net {
nvmem-cells = <&base_mac_address 2>;
nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
};
&nvmem_provider {
base_mac_address: base-mac-address@0 {
#nvmem-cell-cells = <1>;
reg = <0 6>;
};
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
