[RFC v6 08/25] char/nvram: Implement NVRAM read/write methods

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sun Aug 23 2015 - 07:20:46 EST


Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as
arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device
operations to the nvram read/write operations.

This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This also
preserves the locking semantics such that "read if checksum valid" and
"write and update checksum" remain atomic operations.

PPC64 implements byte-range read/write methods which are similar to
file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only
byte-at-a-time functions. So the misc device prefers the former but
will fall back on the latter.
