When a storage device like an eeprom or an mtd device probes, it registers an nvmem device if the nvmem subsystem has been enabled (bool symbol). During nvmem registration, if the device is using layouts to expose dynamic nvmem cells, the core will first try to get a reference over the layout driver callbacks. In practice there is not relationship that can be described between the storage driver and the nvmem layout. So there is no way we can enforce both drivers will be built-in or both will be modules. If the storage device driver is built-in but the layout is built as a module, instead of badly failing with an endless probe deferral loop, lets just make a modprobe call in case the driver was made available in an initramfs with of_device_node_request_module(), and offer a fully functional system to the user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
