I think this is causing the build errors. Do you have nvram.o? In the config you send earlier you had: CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM=y so generic_nvram.o should have been build. Is this still the ".config" file you have? Check your Makefile and Kconfig in drivers/char.

Yes, looks good. But if CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM is not set (or it thinks so), the code won't be compiled. Martin
