I think the MTD partition -> nvmem connection could benefit to non-OTP
partitions too.

So, how about defining the nvmem regions under the partition nodes,
like that:

flash@0 {
	partitions {
		compatible = "fixed-partitions";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;

		partition@0 {
			label = "uboot-spl";
			reg = <0x0 0xe0000>;
		};

		/* ... */

		partition@X{
			label = "factory-data-part";
			reg = <0x200000 0x100000>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <1>;

			product: nvmem@0 {
				reg = <0x0 0x2>;
			};

			revision: nvmem@3 {
				reg = <0x3 0x2>;
			};
		};
	};

	otp-partitions {
		compatible = "fixed-partitions";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;

		partition@X{
			label = "factory-data-part";
			reg = <0x0 0x40>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <1>;

			product: nvmem@0 {
				reg = <0x0 0x2>;
			};

			revision: nvmem@3 {
				reg = <0x3 0x2>;
			};
		};
	};
};

I know this requires changing the implementation to select the
appropriate nvmem wrapper to use depending on whether we're interfacing
with an OTP area or a regular one, but that should be doable.

Regards,

Boris
