DT binding allows specifying NVMEM cells as NVMEM device (provider)
subnodes. Looks for such subnodes when building NVMEM cells.
This allows NVMEM consumers to use U-Boot environment variables.

U-Boot stores its setup as environment variables. It's a list of
key-value pairs stored on flash device with a custom header.
This commit adds an NVMEM driver that:
1. Provides NVMEM access to environment vars binary data
2. Extracts variables as NVMEM cells
Current Linux's NVMEM sysfs API allows reading whole NVMEM data block.
It can be used by user-space tools for reading U-Boot env vars block
without the hassle of finding its location. Parsing will still need to
be re-done there.
Kernel-parsed NVMEM cells can be read however by Linux drivers. This may
be useful for Ethernet drivers for reading device MAC address which is
often stored as U-Boot env variable.
