[PATCH] nvmem: core: add sysfs cell write support

From: Marco Felsch
Date: Fri Feb 23 2024 - 10:41:45 EST


Add the sysfs cell write support to make it possible to write to exposed
cells from sysfs as well e.g. for device provisioning. The write support
is limited to EEPROM based nvmem devices and to nvmem-cells which don't
require post-processing.
