The PM8150 PMIC on this platform uses the older PON (Power On) register
architecture rather than dedicated SDAM regions found in newer PMIC
generations. To enable reboot-mode functionality with the unified
NVMEM-based approach, add a compatibility wrapper that exposes PON
registers through the SDAM NVMEM interface.
Add device tree configuration:
- NVMEM node with compatible "qcom,spmi-sdam" wrapping PON registers
- Uses 'ranges' property to map the PON register block at offset 0x800
- NVMEM cell at offset 0x8F (PON_SOFT_RB_SPARE register)
- 7-bit field (bits [7:1]) for reboot reason, preserving bit 0
- Mode mappings: bootloader=0x02, recovery=0x01
This wrapper allows the SDAM NVMEM driver to access PON registers
transparently, providing a unified interface for both PON-based (older)
and SDAM-based (newer) PMIC generations.
The PON_SOFT_RB_SPARE register persists across warm resets and is
automatically cleared on power cycle.
