[PATCH 00/14] 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").

Should this be implemented on top of/as part of syscon/regmap? In Linux,
all nvmem devices must also implement regmap support, making nvmem a
subset of regmap drivers. There are certainly similarities, but I don't
know if we want to make this depend on regmap.

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:
1-5:   These are general cleanups, and may be applied independently of
       the rest of the series.
6-10:  Add NVMEM support
11-14: Support reading ethernet addresses using the NVMEM API and add
       some tests.
