In case the nvmem DT node contains "wp-gpios" DT property, the device
currently defaults to read-write and the force_ro sysfs attribute reads
0. Switch to the default read-only, which is both safer, and aligned
with eMMC HW BOOT partition force_ro sysfs attribute behavior, which
also defaults to read-only.
The adjustment of nvmem->read_only value to read-only in case wp-gpios
DT property is present must be done only after the device_add() got
called because device_add() does internally call nvmem_bin_attr_get_umode(),
which configures the permissions of 'nvmem' bin attr based on the value
of nvmem->read_only that is only parsed from DT property 'read-only',
without any adjustment. This way, if DT property 'read-only' is present,
the 'nvmem' attribute is always read-only. Otherwise, if the device is
writeable, then 'nvmem' attribute is writeable, and nvmem->read_only
defaults to read-only, but can be switched to read-write at runtime via
the 'force_ro' attribute.
The updated behavior can be tested as follows:
Current content:
"
$ cat /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/force_ro
1
$ hexdump -C /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
00000000 66 6f 6f 0a ff ff ff ff
"
Write into default-read-only device:
"
$ echo bar > /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
$ cat /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/force_ro
1
"
Unlock and write into device:
"
$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/force_ro
$ cat /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/force_ro
0
$ echo bar > /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
$ hexdump -C /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
00000000 62 61 72 0a ff ff ff ff
"
Relock and write into device, fails because device is read-only again:
"
$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/force_ro
$ echo baz > /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
$ hexdump -C /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/logging7/nvmem
00000000 62 61 72 0a ff ff ff ff
"
