[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: nvmem: add U-Boot environment variables binding

From: Rafał Miłecki
Date: Wed Dec 22 2021 - 14:23:34 EST


From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

This binding allows describing a (part of) MTD device (partition) that
contains a block with environment variables. Operating system usually
needs to parse that block to read variables values that may affect
booting process & device configuration.

+title: U-Boot environment variables
+
+description: |
+ U-Boot uses environment variables to store device parameters and
+ configuration. They may be used for booting process, setup or keeping end user
+ interesting info.
+
+ Data is stored on flash partition in a U-Boot specific format (CRC32 and NUL
+ separated key-value pairs).
+
+ This binding allows specifying data location and format (default one or vendor
+ specific).
