    Subject[PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: nvmem: new optional property write-protect-gpios
    Date
    Many nvmem memory chips have a write-protect pin which, when pulled
    high, blocks the write operations.

    On some boards, this pin is connected to a GPIO and pulled high by
    default, which forces the user to manually change its state before
    writing.

    Instead of modifying all the memory drivers to check this pin, make
    the NVMEM subsystem check if the write-protect GPIO being passed
    through the nvmem_config or defined in the device tree and pull it
    low whenever writing to the memory.

    Add a new optional property to the device tree binding document, which
    allows to specify the GPIO line to which the write-protect pin is
    connected.
