[PATCH v3 00/13] Add support for NVMEM API

This adds support for the nvmem-cells properties cropping up in manyb
device trees. This is an easy way to load configuration, version
information, or calibration data from a non-volatile memory source. For
more information, refer to patch 6 ("misc: Add support for nvmem
cells").

For the moment I have only added some integration tests using the
ethernet addresses. This hits the main code paths (looking up nvmem
cells) but doesn't test writing. I can add a few stand-alone tests if
desired.

The patches are structured in the following manner:
1-7:   These are general cleanups, and may be applied independently of
       the rest of the series.
8-9:   Add NVMEM support
10-13: Support reading ethernet addresses using the NVMEM API and add
       some tests.

Changes in v3:
- Add aliases for ethernet devices
- Add mac address for eth8 to environment
- Move patch adding test earlier in the series
- Add test for eth8 as well

Changes in v2:
- Call the appropriate API functions directly from
  nvmem_cell_(read|write). This means we can drop the nvmem_interface
  machinery.
