Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] dt-bindings: mtd: partition: Document use of nvmem-provider
Date:   Sun, 20 Sep 2020 11:57:20 +0200

Document the use of this 2 new bindings, nvmem-provider and nvmem-cell,
used to describe the nvmem cell that the subpartition provide to the
nvmem api and the system. Nvmem cell are direct subnode of the
subpartition and are skipped by the 'fixed-partitions' parser if they
contain the 'nvmem-cell' tag. The subpartition must have the
'nvmem-provider' tag or the subpartition will not register the cell to
the nvmem api.

+- nvmem-provider : Optionally a subpartition can be set as a nvmem-provider. This can
