Hello Srini,

doesn't it make sense to instead have a CONFIG_NVMEM_SYSFS,
maked as default y, that way the default behavior will be the same,
and people not wanting it can explicitly disable it.

This also aligns with how it's done in other drivers:

$ grep SYSFS .config
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set
CONFIG_SYSFS_SYSCALL=y
# CONFIG_DMI_SYSFS is not set
# CONFIG_FW_CFG_SYSFS is not set
# CONFIG_ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS is not set
# CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS is not set
# CONFIG_WATCHDOG_SYSFS is not set
CONFIG_EDAC_LEGACY_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_CROS_EC_SYSFS=m
# CONFIG_IIO_SYSFS_TRIGGER is not set
CONFIG_PWM_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y

Kind regards,
Niklas
