-Exporting from Kernel code
---------------------------
-Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been
-requested using gpio_request()::
-
- /* export the GPIO to userspace */
- int gpio_export(unsigned gpio, bool direction_may_change);
-
- /* reverse gpio_export() */
- void gpio_unexport();
-
-After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in
-the sysfs interface by gpio_export(). The driver can control whether the
-signal direction may change. This helps drivers prevent userspace code
-from accidentally clobbering important system state.
-
-This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds
-of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's
-suitable for documenting as part of a board support package.

+8. NVMEM layouts
+================
+
+NVMEM layouts are yet another mechanism to create cells. With the device
+tree binding it is possible to specify simple cells by using an offset
+and a length. Sometimes, the cells doesn't have a static offset, but
+the content is still well defined, e.g. tag-length-values. In this case,
+the NVMEM device content has to be first parsed and the cells need to
+be added accordingly. Layouts let you read the content of the NVMEM device
+and let you add cells dynamically.
+
+Another use case for layouts is the post processing of cells. With layouts,
+it is possible to associate a custom post processing hook to a cell. It
+even possible to add this hook to cells not created by the layout itself.
