[PATCH v2] nvmem: core: don't consider subnodes not matching binding

From: Ahmad Fatoum
Date: Mon Mar 23 2020 - 11:29:59 EST


The nvmem cell binding applies to objects which match "^.*@[0-9a-f]+$",
but so far the driver has matched all objects and failed if they didn't
have the expected properties.

The driver's behavior in this regard precludes future extension of
EEPROMs by child nodes other than nvmem and clashes with the barebox
bootloader binding that extends the fixed-partitions MTD binding to
EEPROMs as it tries to interpret the "fixed-partitions"-compatible
partitions node as a nvmem cell.

Solve this issue by skipping all subnodes that don't contain an @.

This still allows for cell names like `partitions@0,0', but this
is much less likely to cause future collisions.

use ->full_name instead of ->name as to not break existing correct
