BUT, the eeprom utility may be used to modify values, and if used, I
would like to see ofwfs show the updated value. openpromfs does it
today:

15:09 ares:/proc/openprom/options # cat oem-banner?
false
15:09 ares:/proc/openprom/options # eeprom 'oem-banner?=true'
15:09 ares:/proc/openprom/options # cat oem-banner?
true

(BTW, why does not openpromfs have it rw?)

It used to be able to :-)

When I changed sparc/sparc64 over to an in-memory copy of the
OFW tree, I wasn't able to retain writable property support
in openpromfs. It just needs to be implemented and I never
found the desire nor time.

However, there is this one pseudofile "security-password" which _is_
writable, what about it?
